Summary
The first part of this book is a fictional account of what might have become of Doris Lessing's parents, Alfred Tayler and Emily McVeagh, if World War I had never happened and they had never married. The second part is a memoir describing their relationship as it actually was in the shadow of the Great War, of the family's move to Africa, and of the impact of her parents' marriage on Doris.
