A review by rianlion
The Cleft by Doris Lessing

3.0

An alternative, anthropologically-driven narrative of human origins. I could have done without the Roman narrator - both his reflections and his own story (which didn't seem to add much to the main story), though I suppose that he underscores the ancientness of the story he is telling. This book falls in line with Lessing's most recent books, which all have anthropological/fantasy premises and storylines. However, [book:The Cleft] doesn't hold a candle to [book:Mara and Dann].
