Summary: Beautiful story
Review: The only reason I picked this book up is becuase my sister's name is Mara. It's the best job I've ever done of judging a book by its cover. In "Mara and Dann", Lessing has produced a simple, and yet utterly profound and inspiring novel. Set in Africa in the distant future, we follow the travels, and life story of Mara, and her brother Dann. The novel is a tale of great adventure and romance, but it is also a moving portrait of the bond shared by siblings. Like no other novel I have ever read, "Mara and Dann" captures the exasperation, heartache, joy and ultimately friendship that come from having a brother or sister."Mara and Dann" is both a creative, engaging adventure, and work of amzing depth and heart. It will not disappoint.

Summary: An Excellent Read - I couldn't put it down!
Review: This is truly a great adventure story, the kind you become so engrossed in you can't think of anything else. For once my Writing teacher picked an exciting book to analyze! Lessing is a superb writer, drawing from the influences of Homer and the tales of King Aurthur. A must for anyone! I just finished this book literally 20 minutes ago, and still my thoughts won't leave it alone. Mara and Dann's relationship is so special, and it's amazing to watch it evolve and grow as the novel continues. I won't spoil the ending - enjoy!
