Left in the care of a sympathetic Mahondi woman, Mara and Dann are raised as outsiders in a poor rural village. They learn to survive the hardships and dangers of a life threatened as much by an unforgiving climate and menacing animals as by a hostile community of Rock People who wish them ill. Eventually they join the great human migration North, away from the drought that is turning the southern land to dust, and in search of a place with enough water and food to support human life. Trekking through a barren countryside, Mara and Dann discover different peoples and places and survive a series of hazardous adventures… Mara and Dann – An Adventure – Doris Lessing – Hard Cover – 1999 First Edition Click images to enlarge Description Offered here is this hard cover first edition of Mara and Dann, An Adventure by Doris Lessing.
