Doris Lessing Bundle: The Grass is Singing and The Diaries of Jane Somers

The Grass is Singing focuses on the blighted life of a woman whose spirit is destroyed by a disastrous marriage and by the 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 the strongest, fiercest voices against injustice, racism and sexual hypocrisy.

The Diaries of Jane Somers is in many ways classic Lessing. As resonant with social and political themes as The Golden Notebook, Lessing returns to the realism of her early fiction with the wisdom and experience of maturity. The Diary of Jane Somers contrasts the helplessness of the elderly with that of the young as Jane is forced to care for her nineteen-year-old drop-out niece Kate who is struggling with an emotional breakdown. Jane realises that she understands young people as little as she so recently did the old.
