Konu: Çevre kirliliği, hoyratça kullandığımız doğal kaynakların tükenişi, evsizlerin sayısı artarken sokak çetelerinin kural tanımazlığının kural haline gelişi, dilin yozlaşması ve yoksullaşması, iletişimsizlik, insanların büyük şehirlerden kaçmak zorunda kalışları ve kalabalıkların yerini alan ıssızlık...

Lessing, bütün bu olup bitenlerin görgü tanığı olan, hatta hiç tanımadığı bir çocuk-kadının sorumluluğunu da üstlenen yaşlıca bir kadının ağzından aktarıyor olayları. (Tanıtım Bülteninden)

With the help of her teenage companion Emily, D tries to make her way, and in order to cope, she often escapes into a fantasy world in which she lives in genteel Victorian surroundings in the 19th century.
