The Memoirs of a Survivor by Doris Lessing
A compelling vision of a disorietating and barbaric future from Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.'Original and astonishing … Brilliant persuasive and circumstantial in its imagination, so that each step towards barbarism seems completely necessary' New Statesman
'For some years and books now [we] have been reading Doris Lessing to find out what's going on – what is happening to our society's nervous system and how it affects the way we live with each other … She is one of those acute emotional intelligences whose stories provide keys to our personal dilemmas.’ Guardian
‘An extraordinary and compelling meditation about the enduring need for loyalty, love and responsibility in an unprecedented time.’ Time
