Description: Thousands Of Years In The future, seven-year-old Mara and her brother, Dann, are abducted in the middle of the night. Raised among hostile "Rock people", they eventually join the great migration north, away from the drought that is turning the land to desert. Trekking across a barren countryside, Mara and Dann move through a diversity of peoples and places and survive many hazardous adventures. Mara's mind is as restless as her feet, as she hungers for answers: Who are my parents? Where do I come from? What will we find up north? With an unquenchable thirst to learn and a compassionate nature that survives despite all odds, Mara is one of Lessing's greatest heroines.
