Mara and Dann

An Epic Post-Apocalyptic Adventure – Siblings' Quest Through Darkness and Drought

12 minDoris Lessing

What's it about

What if the world you knew was gone, and your only hope was a memory you couldn't trust? Discover how two siblings, raised in isolation, navigate a future Earth ravaged by a new ice age, searching for a home they can barely remember. Join Mara and Dann on their epic journey across a parched, unrecognizable Africa. You'll learn how they survive brutal landscapes, outsmart dangerous warlords, and piece together the forgotten history of humanity's fall, all while protecting a secret that could either save them or tear them apart forever.

Meet the author

Doris Lessing, the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, was celebrated as an epicist of the female experience who defined the 20th century with visionary power. Raised in Southern Rhodesia now Zimbabwe, her early life amidst stark landscapes and social upheaval profoundly shaped her perspective on civilization, survival, and humanity's future. This firsthand experience with cultural clashes and environmental challenges provided the fertile ground from which her speculative and deeply humanistic fiction, including Mara and Dann, would grow.
