Synopsis

The most personal book of the great English narrator and Nobel Prize winner: the thoughtful confrontation with two idiosyncratic women - her mother and herself: it is the story of a mutual injury that Doris Lessing recorded in these memories, sober and concrete, without falling into the tone of a reckoning: "I constantly tried to my mother asI I should be smarter than anyone else." The daughter, who should indeed become smarter than many others, thinks back to the colonial everyday life in Rhodesia of the thirties, of the existence of her mother and of herself, "the ideal image of a difficult growing up". She describes how unbearable her mother was and how unbearable she, the daughter. The unsentimental, sharp-sighted portrait of two women who remained foreign to each other for a lifetime.
