Items related to THE GRASS IS SINGING
A landmark of 20th century literature. Doris Lessing's classic first novel, brought with her when she came to England from Southern Rhodesia in 1950. Set in Rhodesia, it tells the story of Dick Turner, a failed white farmer and his wife, Mary, a town girl who hates the bush. Trapped by poverty, sapped by the heat of their tiny brick & iron house, Mary, lonely & frightened turns to Moses, the black cook, for kindness and understanding. A masterpiece of realism, "The Grass is Singing" is a superb evocation of Africa's majestic beauty, an intense psychological portrait of lives in confusion and a passionate exploration of the ideology of white supremacy. 'More than any white African writer of her feneration, Doris Lessing is aware of the seductive cruelty of colonialism and is one of our strongest, fiercest voices against injustice, racism and sexual hypocrisy. In 'The Grass is Singing@ you can feel the dynamo-like throb of a formidable talent' (Times)
