Las Abuelas is a collection of four stories by acclaimed author Doris Lessing, exploring themes of aging, family, and interpersonal relationships. In the title story, two friends rebuild their lives with each other's sons, forming a peculiar family. The other stories introduce us to a working-class woman seeking her place in the world, the wife of a dictator, and a bastard son, offering four visions of the aging process and the human condition, with Lessing's characteristic sensitivity and narrative mastery.
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).
