And the Earth’s climate is much changed – it’s colder than ever before in the north, and unbearably dry and hot in the south. Mara, who is seven, and her four-year-old brother Dann find themselves somewhere very strange, not home …\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThey are taken in by a kindly, grandmotherly woman, but this new life is hard: hunger, dirt, thirst and danger are the children’s constant companions. Drought and fire carry off their adoptive home and force them to set off northward into the unknown, to experience a series of adventures that bring them to an altogether altered world, where they can start to learn and build anew.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDoris Lessing has written a compelling, troubling and entertaining novel that, through the remarkable odyssey of a brother and sister living in the imagined future, manages to tell us a great deal about the present we perceive only dimly and scarcely know how to value.","brand":"Print on demand - ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42540452774046,"sku":"HPC-9780006550839","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/products\/9780006550839.jpg?v=1681259521","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780006550839","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
