Victoria et les Staveney, Paperback Book, By: Doris Lessing

Victoria has never forgotten her meeting, at the age of nine, with a wealthy white family, the Stavenys. This heady memory will push her, years later, to start an affair with their son, Thomas. From this story will be born Mary, a little girl with fair skin and a radiant smile. In adoration in front of the child, the Staveney's offer to welcome him into their home more and more often. Victoria, fully aware of how lucky such an education would be for her daughter, cannot imagine what consequences her decision will have. The great lady of English letters returns to her favorite themes: racism, hypocrisy, ambition. An uncompromising and incredibly modern look at our time.
