This was a strange book. I have read several of Doris Lessing's books. Some I liked and some not so much. I don't know how to describe this book. I felt that the story could have been fleshed out more. The story about this couple who met, fell in love and married. They wanted lots of children and had four before they had the fifth child. I will not say more as I don't want to give away any more of the story. I gave it three stars as I did finish the book, but am still undecided about how I liked it.
