Book Chamber: The Fifth Child by Doris Lessing
Tuesday, October 27, 2026
6:30 PM

A gothic tale that explores family, fear, and the darker side of human nature. When Harriet and David Lovatt’s seemingly perfect family welcomes their fifth child, Ben, their idyllic world begins to unravel. Strange, frightening, and increasingly

violent, Ben challenges everything they believe about parenthood, love, and what makes someone truly “human.” As the family struggles to understand and accept him, Lessing raises disturbing questions about society’s ideas of normalcy,

compassion, and its own capacity for brutality.

Join Book Chamber as we celebrate the spooky season with this haunting and thought-provoking read!
