Adore

<p><strong>A keen sociological eye for class and ideology; an understanding of the contradictory impulses of the human heart; an ability to conjure a place a mood and a time through seemingly matter-of-fact descriptions. -- Michiko Kakutani <em>New York Times</em></strong></p><p><strong>Shocking intimate often uncomfortably honest <em> Adore </em>reaffirms Doris Lessing's unrivaled ability to capture the truth of the human condition.</strong></p><p>Roz and Lil have been best friends since childhood. But their bond stretches beyond familiar bounds when these middle-aged mothers fall in love with each other's teenage sons--taboo-shattering passions that last for years until the women end them vowing to have a respectable old age. </p>
