| | 3. |  | The Golden Notebook: A Novel (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $13.84
Customer Review:
This is a difficult book to review in a short essay. First published in 1962, The Golden Notebook is both a path-breaking work that anticipated many of the concerns of feminists while also mirroring some of the attitudes that still hold women back. The narrator of the novel is Anna, an ex-communist... more info

| | 4. |  | The Grass Is Singing: A Novel (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $11.86
Customer Review:
Doris Lessing's first novel will pull you into a dry, dusty landscape where people are separated by color and class. Rarely is character development so deeply explored. The background of this book gives a fundamental understanding to past difficulties in South Africa.

| | 5. |  | Alfred and Emily
from Harper
Price: $17.13
Customer Review:
This is a somewhat unusual book. Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing chose to write about her parents, Alfred Taylor and Emily McVeigh, but rather than stick to their actual lives she took the liberty in the first half of the book to imagine them as they might have been had there never been a World War... more info

| | 6. |  | The Summer Before the Dark
from Vintage
Price: $8.00
Customer Review:
As I post this review, I have read three of Lessing's novels from three different time periods in her career. This is one of her later works and it contains the strong feminine perspectives, dialogues, analysis, and commentary that is associated with Lessing. One could say that these are the... more info

from Hesperus Press
Price: $15.95
Customer Review:
Having bought this book mainly as something to read while travelling I found it to be not only a wonderful read but a gold mine of information.
The book is not simply a translation of Lermontov's "A hero of our time" But also includes a biography of Lermontov with corresponding time like to... more info

from Everyman's Library
Price: $17.16
Customer Review:
When I say that Doris Lessing is one of the top published fiction writers still living, you will know to a) take it to the bank, yet b) also go out and get a copy of her stories- preferably her 1980 collection from Vintage Books, simply called Stories, wherein thirty-five of her best tales are... more info

| | 10. |  | Under My Skin Volume of My Autobiography
from Harper Collins Publishers
Customer Review:
This was actually my first experience with Doris Lessing, tho I've heard of her for years. Her picture of the So. African experience was quite revealing but I got a little tired of the analysis of those who joined the communist movement. It seems that though she worked as an activist, she never... more info
