Review
"A rich portrait of contemporary London...As always, Lessing expertly deciphers the complex relationships that characterize modern life.""-- New York Times Book Review""Doris Lessing has a powerful voice and a particular one. It speaks in anger at the distortion of personal relations ion a unsound society, but speaks it with a wit that manages to be both pitiless and compassionate." -- Richard Eder, "Los Angeles Times""The most accessible and lyrical of [Doris Lessing's] books, it registers the pulse of a modern metropolis." -- Robert Taylor, "Boston Globe""["The Real Thing"] showcases the uncompromising realism that first won Doris Lessing fame...A real treat for Lessing Fans." -- Wendy Smith, "Cleveland Plain Dealer"
