Ben, in the World: The Sequel to the Fifth Child Paperback - 2001
by Doris Lessing
At 18, Ben is in the world, but not of it. Now estranged from his family, he must find his own path in life, searching the faces of those he meets for kindness, only to find fear or hostility.
Summary
First line
This card had afflicted Ben with such a despair of rage that he took it from his mother, and ran out of the house.
From the rear cover
At eighteen, Ben is in the world, but not of it. He is too large, too awkward, too inhumanly made. Now estranged from his family, he must find his own path in life. From London and the south of France to Brazil and the mountains of the Andes. Ben is tossed about in a tumultuous search for his people, a reason for his being. How the world receives him, and, he fares in it will horrify and captivate until the novel's dramatic finale.
