Set in 1980s London, the novel follows a group of political activists whose idealism gradually becomes entangled with extremism and violence. At its centre is Alice Mellings, a compassionate yet contradictory woman whose desire to care for others often blinds her to the consequences of her choices. Doris Lessing explores the complexities of personal conviction, social alienation, and political commitment with remarkable psychological depth. Thought-provoking and sharply observed, the novel is both an intimate character study and a powerful reflection on the nature of radicalism.
