I just finished reading an amazing book! It's Doris Lessing's The Cleft.
It is a fairytale of the very first humans: females... who loved lying on the beach as they emerged out of the water like little mermaids whose fishtail separated into two legs. The story shows a lot of cruelty against the very first emerging males yet rather then heralding feminism it is describing the very essence of human beings - their shyness and their curiosity.
It's the most romantic and at the same time most captivating story I have read in a long time!
