The Grass is Singing by Doris Lessing

The Grass is Singing by Doris Lessing

Hardback 50th Anniversary Edition Doris Lessing brought the manuscript of THE GRASS IS SINGING, her classic first novel, with her when she left Southern Rhodesia and came to England in 1950. When it was first published it created an impact whose reverberations we are still feeling, and immediately established itself as a landmark in twentieth-century literature. This hardback edition is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its publication.

'In The Grass is Singing, you can feel the dynamo-like throb of a formidable talent: by its side most novels of 1950 loooked like crochet-work' The Times 'The Grass is Singing focuses on the blighted life of a woman whose spirit is destroyed by a disastrous marriage and by an environment to which she couldn't respond. More than any other white African writer of her generation, Doris Lessing is aware of the seductive cruelty of colonialism and is one of our strongest, fiercest voices against injustice, racism and sexual hypocrisy.' Independent on Sunday

Doris Lessing is widely recognized as one of the greatest writers of the second half of the twentieth century.
