A Proper Marriage by Doris May Lessing
A young woman in a colonial African setting marries and settles into what should be a respectable household, only to find domestic routine, motherhood and her husband’s conventionality stifling to her restless, questioning spirit. Against the backdrop of settler society’s narrow expectations and growing political tensions, she experiences disillusionment with romantic ideals and social respectability, and the book traces her inner rebellions and intellectual awakening as she moves toward a sharper political and personal self-understanding.
