Ben, in the World by Doris Lessing
4.0
The Fifth Child was about the mother and what having a ‘profoundly different’ child meant for her as she struggled with her own reactions as well as those of her family. Ben in the World was all about Ben, his needs and wants and challenges and … ultimately … his decisions.
It certainly is clear that Lessing knows that the poor, marginalized, destitute can find one more place at the table, shelter in the inn, while the middle class and rich can’t slam the door shut fast enough.
