In a distant future plagued by drought and strife, two young siblings join the great human migration northwards in a quest for survival and self-knowledge. A return to the world of visionary fiction, first visited in her 1980s quintet of novels, Canopus in Argos. Recipient of the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature. In 2008, The Times ranked Lessing fifth on their list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".
"A substantial achievement, the latest remarkable book from a seemingly inexhaustible writer... There is a serious case to be made for placing Lessing's science fiction at the center of her oeuvre." –Boston Globe
