Book Description
Intelligent, sensitive, and fiercely passionate, Martha Quest is a young woman living on a farm in Africa, feeling her way through the torments of adolescence and early womanhood. She is a romantic idealistic in revolt against the puritan snobbery of her parents, trying to live to the full with every nerve, emotion, and instinct laid bare to experience. For her, this is a time of solitary reading daydreams, dancing -- and the first disturbing encounters with sex. The first of Doris Lessing's timeless Children of Violence novels, Martha Quest is an endearing masterpiece.

a portrait of a young woman's soul.......2006-02-24
This book mirrors a girl's search of an identidy in a country where people from different nationalities try to live with a minimum of conflict. The story starts between the two world wars and reflects the urgency to live.
Doris Lessing is one of the more lucid writers of our times e and makes Martha Quest so real that she could be a friem or a neighbour of ours.
A book that must be read!
A matter of 'trying on.'.......2006-01-31
"For the majority of women everything, including the greatest of sorrow, resolves itself into a question of trying on."
This Proust quote opens the third part of Martha Quest, and while its really insulting, it describes Martha to a tee. She doesn't really know who she is so she tries on different personas. I normally can't stand coming-of-age novels (hated Portrait of a Young Man, This Side of Paradise, Look Homeward Angel) but this is a wonderful book. In the background there are issues of race and culture - the arrogance and insensitivity of the colonialists.
Martha can be a frustrating character, but she is fascinating and the readers have the edge because we can see her missteps. Her worst trait, perhaps, is she takes ideas and views for granted. When someone asks her if she agrees with equal rights for the native people, she nonchalantly says "Of Course," and doesn't think of it anymore.
I disagree with the reviewers who say this book can stand on its own. I would be upset if it ended so abruptly and didn't have a sequel (or in this case, four.)
a coming of age novel?.......2004-01-17
If I had the choice, I wouldn't read this book. Unfortunately, our A/S Level Literature class had to do this -terrible- book that is apparently, a work of literary art.
Martha is depicted to be a self absorbed adolescent who is 'struggling' to come to terms with her self discovery. She is also coming to terms with herself as a sexual being. She is somehow, meant to represent all seventeen year old girls out there with her self indulgent views on the world. Her arrogance and pride, meant to be some of her 'positive' points, grate on the nerves. Martha, as a character reeks of unnaturalness, a pity as the story rests upon her.
The only redeeming factor, in my opinion, is Lessings description of the natural beauty of South Africa and her depiction of the simmering racial tensions in the veld. The era of World War Two and the legacy of World War One perhaps, created a world which my generation could not relate to. Or at least, I could not.
This book was a complete waste of time!!.......2002-10-23
I took over a month to finish reading this BORING BOOK because everytime I started a page I would fall asleep in the middle of that same page.It is such a shame that I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO READ THIS [STUFF] because I had to do this book for one of my most important exams.Mrs.Lessing must have been going through some sort of madness or sickness I assume while she was writing this sorry excuse for a novel.God help us all who must read this book!
it's about (not) having a self.......2002-09-04
it's been so long since i read this, i'm ready to read it again! the incredible vulnerability of someone like martha, who has no self through which to really make sense of her emotions or her options in life - is really quite heart rending and astounding... Martha's story really helped me to find compassion and understanding for my own younger self, not to mention other young people in my life... it's darned difficult to manage without much of a self. that is for sure. poor martha. But! even with all that, it's still fun to read, believe it or not!
the whole series is amazing...though not perfect, a really really great, somewhat sudsy read...
hey, when are they going to make this a miniseries anyway?

Customer Reviews:
It was okay...could've been better.......2002-09-30
While the first few chapters seemed to hold my interest, I found myself rather annoyed with most of the book. Harrison Montgomery made me angry with his pestering questions. Charlotte was a great character, and wondering who was picking off the travelers one by one was at first a good mystery, but lacked thrill and suspense after Mr. Montgomery seemed to figure it out halfway through the book. I enjoy Regency Romances, but this one I did not.
an enjoyable read.......2001-10-20
Miss Charlotte Pelham needs to earn some money quickly so that she can afford to send her younger brother, Jonathan, to university. And when she reads a newspaper advertisement for an opening as a guide for a walking tour across northern England, she eagerly applies. Charlotte, who is a seasoned trekker, believes that she is truly qualified for the job. However, she also realises that no one will hire a woman for such a job. So that when she applies for the job, she presents herself as 'Charles Pelham.' It is Charlotte's devout hope that she will be able to placate the participants of the walking tour into accepting her as a substitute for her absent 'brother.' And since she has also persuaded her brother Jonathan, as well as his best friend, Peter, to be assistant tour guides, Charlotte is fairly sanguine that she will be able to pull things off. However her enterprise starts off badly when the landlord at the very inn that the tour is supposed to start from refuses to allow Charlotte to stay without her brother 'Charles.'
Enter the mysterious Mr. Harrison Montgomery, who smoothes Charlotte's way with the landlord, but who expects Charlotte to include him in her walking group in return. And while Charlotte is grateful to Mr. Montgomery for his aid, his dismissive attitude towards her because of her gender, and the manner in which he forces her to include him in the tour, really grates. She has to keep reminding herself that it is this first walking tour that she is leading that is important, and not the very irritating but vastly attractive Mr. Montgomery. And if she intends for this trek to be a success, she will need to pay attention to everyone in the group, and not just the one person who sends her pulses racing, and whose behavior is mysterious and highly suspicious. Why, for example, is he so interested in Jonathan and Peter? And then a series of minor accidents begin to dog the group. With air positively foggy with mystery, Charlotte begins to wonder if this group is just ill-fated, or if something more sinister is going on, and if the mysterious and infuriating Mr. Montgomery is behind it all?
"Mr. Montgomery's Quest" is a really fun read. And I was truly tempted by Martha Kirkland's vivid descriptions of the Cumbria landscape and the Yorkshire moors -- I practically wanted to start out on an English walking tour at once! I liked the character of Charlotte Pelham immensely. Here was certainly a heroine that was not in the usual mode. What a refreshing breath of fresh air Charlotte, with her frank, humourous and intelligent ways, was! It took me a while to warm up to Harrison Montgomery, however. Though this was no fault of his (or the authour's). Being of Indian descent myself, I didn't exactly enjoy the sweeping generalisations he made when comparing Charlotte to the women he had known in India. It was only when I recollected that he probably only had traffic with courtesans (and probably not the cream of the crop either) that I forgave all and settled down to enjoying the rest of the novel. Fortunately, Ms Kirkland rehabilitates Montgomery a quarter way through the book, by making him realise early on that he has been doing Charlotte, and most women, a disservice, by dismissing their abilities. A very nice touch that. And the final chapter of the novel, when Charlotte and Montgomery finally declare themselves to each other, was probably one of the most unique and romanctic declarations I have ever read.
"Mr. Montgomery's Quest" is a nice mixture of romance and mystery. And was a completely enjoyable book.

4 Trade Paperback Titles in Children of Violence Series By Lessing - A Proper Marriage - Landlocked - A Ripple From the Storm - Martha Quest
Product Description
Once Upon a Christmas: After a tragic loss, Celia Delacourt faces the daunting prospect of a lonely life as a governess, or worse. Then her distant cousin, the Duchess of Delacourt, arrives on her doorstep, inviting her to spend Christmas on the family estate. Celia suspects that the reserved noblewoman has an ulterior motive up her expensive sleeve, but nonetheless decides that spending the holidays in a palace will surely surpass spending them in the poorhouse. Jack Delacourt knows his mother is plotting something when he receives a strange-sounding Christmas invitation that he recognizes as a thinly veiled matchmaking ploy. But if his mother plans to bully him into betrothal with a stranger, Jack is equally prepared with a plan of his own. He meets his cousin Celia with every intention of putting her off. But Celia is not at all what he expected, and they may be about to share the most wonderful Christmas gift of all.
The Barbarian Earl: The savage Earl of Stratham has offered his illegitimate son, Liam, a generous inheritance, on one condition. Liam must marry the noble Lady Alexandra Henning daughter of the woman who scorned the Earl's affections years before. A notorious smuggler and all-around rake, Liam is no stranger to unscrupulous dealings, but this vengeful mission could be the most lucrative scam of his life. Alexandra's father, a viscount on the verge of financial ruin, is eager to marry his daughter off-for a price Liam is all too willing to pay. And although the very thought of an arranged marriage is an affront to Alexandra's romantic sensibilities, the determined Liam soon discovers the way to her heart-and opens his own heart to an unexpected love.

Book Description
To the forest on the shore of the Kingdom of the Isles, the orphan Pug came to study with the master magician Kulgan. But though his courage won him a place at court and the heart of a lovely Princess, he was ill at ease with the normal ways of wizardry. Yet Pug's strange sort of magic would one day change forever the fates of two worlds. For dark beings from another world had opened a rift in the fabric of spacetime to being again the age-old battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.
Customer Reviews:
Great Story, But Skips Around..........2007-09-20
The story is well told and it's about one race invading a fantasy realm full of humans, dwarves, and elves. (War of the Worlds - Fantasy Style)
The characters are likeable, funny at times, and inspiring.
The battle scenes are well written and exciting.
The setting is fairly standard, but good.
I only have one gripe and that some chapters skip months or years ahead. Feist always catches the reader up to speed in the first couple of pages, but you end up saying, "huh?" and checking to see if you skipped a page at times.
Overall, the book is a good one, and I'll be picking up the second book of the series.
Magician apprentice.......2007-09-17
Pug was my character in almost all my adventures: D&D or online playing thats the impression the book left with me. I have read this one plus the next three and am would recommend this to anyone.
A nice intro to two vast worlds.......2007-09-17
Pug, a local boy in the town of Crydee, feels himself very unimportant, that is until the Duke's Magician chooses him as his apprentice. This tale follows Pug as he begins on his path to being a Magician, and perhaps more. Also, the entire Kingdom is being threatened by an invasion, from another world!
This book is a great introduction to two vastly different worlds, joined in what later becomes a common danger to them both. Once you begin reading this story you won't want to put it down, as Fiest throws you one twist after another. I would recomend this book to any Fantasy fan.
Close But No Cookie.......2007-09-12
I'll sum it up as quickly as I can. After reading about 2/3 of this book, I wasn't sure I wanted to finish, and I don't plan on getting the next book in the series.
Pros: a couple of interesting ideas; Pug is a likeable character and the best developed
Cons: lots of re-tread ideas, especially from Tolkien; reads like a beach novel (lots of starch, not much protein); some completely unbelievable character exchanges (teenage boys don't act like that); some pretty saccharine dialogue and descriptions.
Magic in a book.......2007-09-02
This book is compelling, and explored the realistic ways of life in a medieval culture. Plenty of realism, but enough fantasy to make that needed tweak of reality making you know "This is not going to happen." If you are not paranoic then this book is great for you.
Feist explores new ground in the fantasy realm with this series. He tells a spellbinding tale that you won't want to leave even at a dark hour, later than midnight.
Pug is an interesting character, a young boy raised in a coastal duchy, known to the town as a runt. He expects not to be picked for anything at the career choice thing, but is instead called for apprenticeship by Kulgan, a wizard living just outside the town. His friend, Tomas, is, however, picked to by Swordsmaster Fannon's apprentice, meaning he will almost certainly be a warrior when he grows.
Then comes a discovery of the Tsurani, an oriental race of beings from a world with Mexican climate. The Tsurani are from the world Kelewan, and have powerful military might, and soon Pug and some companions must adventure to Rillanon to warn the king.
The tale is a reminiscant of Tolkien, and is a great book for the younger fantasy crowd as well. Strong-willed characters line the realistic setting, and titanic battles are always boiling.
Enjoy.

Book Description
Pug and Tomas are two kitchen boys who dream of being heroes one day in the medieval fantasy world of Midkemia. But as the boys start on the path to manhood and begin their apprenticeships to their respective masters, they one day stumble upon a strange shipwreck and learn that invaders from a strange and distant world have found a way to invade Midkemia through portals known as "rifts" and are preparing for a full scale assault. As Tomas learns to be a soldier and Pug studies the path of a magician, both boys find themselves growing into the heroes they had hoped to become - but growing apart as the effects of the Riftwar change both of their lives forever.

Do you nurse the fond desire to try your hand--or feet, that is--at firewalking? Go ahead. Tahir Shah writes in this beautifully conceived and executed work of literary travel, "Contrary to popular belief, firewalking is dead simple. The skin on the soles of the feet and the ash which covers the coals are both poor conductors of heat. Anyone can do it."
Do we dare trust Shah's word on this point? Maybe so, maybe not, for, though another character in his book bears the sobriquet, Shah is a superbly engaging trickster. The English-born scion of Afghani nobility, Shah takes his readers on a whirlwind trip across southern India that has at its heart one of the most unusual missions in goal-directed travel literature: namely, to find and learn the art of magic from one of India's greatest practitioners, a mysterious fellow named Hakim Feroze. Finding the master in Calcutta, Shah begs Feroze to accept him as a student; unfortunately, as we see, Feroze does so, though not without hesitation. Shah takes us inside sorcery boot camp, which involves strange drills such as digging a deep hole with a dessert spoon, left-handed; separating dried rice and lentils blindfolded; and catching a dozen cockroaches at once in a small tin mug. In recounting his education, Shah reveals a few professional secrets. For one, the Indian rope trick, that classic of conjuring, is effected not by legerdemain, but by the use of hallucinogenic smoke. And as to snake charming, well, 90 percent of India's snakes are nonvenomous, and it's easy enough to find a nonfatal variety that looks like one of the killer breeds.
Full of conjures and trickery, Shah's book offers an often humorous, sidelong education in the dark arts and more: it brings readers along on a surreal tour of India, affording a window to places well off the tourist track. It all adds up to a first-rate adventure. --Gregory McNamee
Book Description
As a child, Tahir Shah learned the first secrets of illusion from an Indian magician. Two decades later, he set out in search of this man. Sorcerer's Apprentice is the story of his apprenticeship to one of India's master conjurors and his initiation into the brotherhood of godmen. Learning to unmask illusion as well as practice it, he goes on a journey across the subcontinent, seeking out its miraculous and bizarre underbelly, meeting sadhus, sages, sorcerers, hypnotists, and humbugs. His quest exposes a side of India that most writers never imagine exists.
Customer Reviews:
Great Exotic Travel Read.......2007-05-14
I loved this book !!! It is the second book I read by this author (the first was the Caliph's House which I also loved) and I intend to read ALL his books past and future.
I simply fell for his style of writing, it goes to the core and makes you feel like you are present and for me that is what books should do, suck us into the narrative. I had a travel guide of India by me to look up all the locations mentioned in the book and i just marvelled at the amount of information I learned about magic tricks. I hope more people read his books and that he keeps writing.
Perfection.......2007-03-10
I ordered my book and got it in 3 or 4 days in flawless
condition. Many thanks.
Surreal indeed!.......2006-06-13
Tahir Shah is an Englishman of Afghani/Scottish descent who writes what may be a new form: The eccentric maybe true, maybe not true, but true on a metaleval travel book. What I mean by that is that, while the details of his day-to-day experiences may be exaggerated and padded to make the book work with a coherent theme, the facts about the country remain true. I genuinely enjoyed this second book of his that I have read. In it, an 11-year-boy meets the guardian of his ancestor's tomb, learns a bit of magic, grows up, travels to India to tour and meet the guardian again, hoping to learn more slight of hand illusion magic. From there he is referred to his teacher's teacher, who is definitely the archytypical teacher as sadist. As Mr. Tahir learns the craft, we learn a great deal about India, about the travelling magicians, godmen, sadhus, charletans, etc. I found the book engaging from beginning to end and highly recommend it.
Now that's not magic.......2006-04-13
The jacket blurb describes Tahir Shah as an "uproariously funny writer". Well, I cracked a smile once or twice, but funny this is not. The dialogue is weak, the clumsy attempts at wit are forced and toe-curling, and Shah comes across as a tetchy,irritable and intolerant foreigner.The book tries to pass itself off as a travelogue but the hokey, conveniently slapstick encounters appear contrived. There is a suspicious lack of photographs of any of the main characters or more sensational events in the book and I ended up believing very little of the narrative. Which is a shame, because buried very deep under the poor writing (see how many verbs Shah can use to avoid the perfectly adequate "said")is an interesting look at the resourcefulness of India's poor. A decent rainy day read but a missed opportunity by the writer.
Entertaining, fascinating, and occasionally magical (a trick?).......2005-08-09
This book has one of the finest first chapters I've ever read: one day a man from India shows up at an English boy's house to protect him. Note that the book is non-fiction. The rest of the book is how the author (who was that boy) many years later decides to go to India to learn how to be a magician like the man who came to him. At times the author seems to purposely act too credulous and think odd thoughts, to the point where you feel he's being that way in order to make for a more mystical read. He's also a bit disingenuous, in that the book implies he gives up a staid life for adventure; judging from his other books, he has never been too bored or boring. It's nonetheless a fun read, as he goes through many peculiar experiences and learns all sorts of strange knowledge about magical tricks and India itself. A surprising and wonderful (though sometimes slow) book.
Customer Reviews:
What a great story.......2007-04-17
This books a great start. Like most epic series books, this one takes a little time to get into, but he does a good job and getting you into it after pretty quick. You will love all the characters.
Wow, I have read the 1st 7 books. They are so great. I love the character. Pug is a good character a standard reluctant hero, but boy does his story change after the 2nd book.

An outstanding children's book.......2004-07-05
Thanks to Captain Katie's review for bringing this children's book to my attention. It is a variation of the story of the sorcerer's apprentice. It is written as a long poem with large, full color illustrations. It is suitable for pre-school or early grade school children, particularly young girls. The exact age depends on their reading level, but the recommended age range of 4 to 8 years old ssems about right (although I am 68 and thought it was a delightful story). Be sure you get the book with the dust jacket because the introduction to the story is on the inside of the dust jacket (for whatever reason).
Sylvia goes off to become an apprentice to the sorcerer Tottibo, but discovers that an apprentice starts at the bottom doing drudge work. She is assigned to making lots and lots of clothing. She decides the work would be easier if she could use magic on the sewing machine, but - well, the results are unexpected. "It stitched the dishes to the table, it stitched the noodles to the ladle." You get the idea. The sorcerer finally has to come to the rescue.
For some reason good children's books always seem to go out of print. Some copies are available (new and used) from secondary sources at this writing (July 4, 2004). One could hope it would go back into print before the Christmas season.
Beware of What You Wish For.......2004-06-24
Nancy Willard has written in verse a new version of "The Sorcerer's" Apprentice and Leo and Diane Dillon have painted the pages with beautiful illustrations that make the story come alive.
In this version, young and impatient Sylvia has come to the sorcerer Tottibo to learn his magic. Tottibo tells her that she has to take it slowly, learn a little at a time, and then he assigns her the job of sewing new clothes for all his animals. However, Sylvia spies a modest bottle full of sand next to a book of spells. She pours the sand on the sewing machine and commands it to sew, but the machine won't stop. Like Lizzy Bordon, she gives the machine forty whacks (well maybe not forty) and every time she whacks the machine it turns into another, till she has lots of machines, sewing and sewing.
Fortunately Tottibo comes and saves the day and we learn our little moral. I love reading this book to my nieces. They love the sound of the rhymes as they look at the pictures. If you can find this book, you should get it, even if you don't kids, as it's a work of art. Five stars from Captain Katie.
