«El sueño más dulce» is the novel by Doris Lessing published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (476 pages, in Spanish).
The novel interweaves Frances's enthusiasm for communist ideals in the 1940s with the failure of postcolonial regimes and the AIDS epidemic that Sylvia encounters as a doctor in Africa. Frances and Sylvia embody the paradoxes of the twentieth century and seek to do good in a world where hopelessness is always near.
Translation by M.ª Eugenia Ciocchini; the original English title is «The Sweetest Dream».
For readers of literary and historical fiction of the twentieth century, with an interest in female characters and families; also for followers of Doris Lessing.
Doris May Lessing was a British novelist – sometimes identified as Rhodesian early in her career – and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007. Lessing was born to British parents in Qajar Iran, where she lived until she was 6 in 1925. Her family then moved to Southern Rhodesia, where she remained until moving to London, England, in 1949. Her novels include The Grass Is Singing (1950), the sequence of five novels collectively called Children of Violence (1952–1969), The Golden Notebook (1962), The Good Terrorist (1985), and five novels collectively known as Canopus in Argos: Archives (1979–1983).
