In a chaotic and apocalyptic world, a middle-aged woman takes on the task of raising a twelve-year-old girl. Through her diary, the protagonist offers us a glimpse into an uncertain future, reflecting on memory, affections, loneliness, and the forms of violence we accept. A visionary novel by Doris Lessing that explores the forces that can save us from total destruction and how to survive a present that can be as horrendous as any future.
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).
