Description:
Doris Lessing arrived in London in 1949 with her young son, Peter, and the manuscript of her first novel, The Grass Is Singing. Over the next 13 years, which culminated in the publication of her masterwork, The Golden Notebook, she became one of the world's most celebrated novelists. How she got there is more than just a fascinating memoir, it's a history, of the cold war era in Europe, as Lessing takes us through her fascination -- and subsequent disillusionment -- with communism, her work in the theater, her experiences as a young single mother, and her engagement with a burgeoning bohemian subculture.
-- Fans of The Golden Notebook will welcome this invaluable inside account of its genesis.
-- The historical aspects of the book will garner a whole new audience, in addition to Lessing's literary fans.
-- This second volume of Lessing's autobiography is a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
