Review:
"Reminds us of what an autobiography can do in the hands of a master.""-- Washington Post Book World""Extraordinary...Eloquent...Mrs. Lessing recounts this passage in her life with complex candor...[and] with the vividness of a fine novelist."-- "New York Times Book Review""Compelling reading...Readers familiar with Doris Lessing's work will savor her self-revelations in "Under My Skin" flavored with her characteristic wry tone."-- "Chicago Tribune Books""Lessing summons the girl from half a century ago with such freshness and immediacy that she seems alive today."-- "Ms." magazine"Absorbing...Arouses our cheers and sympathy...Her work is cathartic and exhilarating."-- "Cleveland Plain Dealer""One of the 20th century's most important and influential novelist here presents a memoir as probing, unsparing and darkly funny as her fiction."-- "Publishers Weekly," starred review
From the Back Cover:
"I was born with skins too few. Or they were scrubbed off me by. . . robust and efficient hands."

The experiences absorbed through these "skins too few" are evoked in this memoir of Doris Lessing's childhood and youth as the daughter of a British colonial family in Persia and Southern Rhodesia Honestly and with overwhelming immediacy, Lessing maps the growth of her consciousness, her sexuality, and her politics, offering a rare opportunity to get under her skin and discover the forces that made her one of the most distinguished writers of our time.
