The Fifth Child Paperback - 1989
by Doris Lessing
Harriet and David Lovatt face a frightening dilemma: how to love a monstrosity they have brought into the world--hideous in appearance, insatiably hungry, abnormally strong and brutal. A horror story comparable to Rosemary's Baby by the internationally acclaimed author.
From the jacket flap
A self-satisfied couple intent on raising a happy family is shocked by the birth of an abnormal and brutal fifth child.
