The Story of General Dann and Mara's Daughter, Griot and the Snow Dog Paperback – 19 June 2006

This novel was jumped on in anticipation of picking up my travels with Mara and Dann. Unfortunately Doris Lessing had other plans for a major character. While this book is a good read in that it does allow one to follow onward with a good story, because a major character is missing-the book is not as rich as the first book "Mara and Dann". Once again we study mental illness in a world unsettled as the darkness of a child's youth always surfaces to haunt him. While Doris Lessing is a wonderful writer, this story could have been told better...more like the first...But its fluidity is missing...Still an all right red.

I've apparently only actually ordered this book today 18 Sep 2017 not due til 2 Oct. Beats me how I did that. 😉genius no doubt!

Awesome read, also the book got here fast and in perfect condition

While not as excellent and Mara and Dann, the sequel should also be read, since it reveals the remainder of the long trek of the two.

After the first novel, "Mara and Dan," which was a stimulating foray into the Earth's future, this novel was a disappointment. It seems as if Lessing had a gun held to her head forcing her to write a sequel or else, when in fact she had nothing new to say about these characters or the setting.
