THE LEMMINGS

by Charity Blackstock ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 23, 1969

Miss Blackstock, whose minor but persuasive talent seems to adjust itself to any genre, abandons entertainment per se for a modern novel in an English town where Todd Murray, a teacher of English in a small commercial college, deals with two kinds of hopeless situations. On the one hand his wife Tracy (still under thirty) is dying, nearly dead, of cancer and--while they are sometimes querulously, sometimes courageously realistic about it--her death threatens to submerge him as well. On the other hand there's Miss Diya Audu, his African student, who is being victimized by Timperley who runs the college
