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.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Es ist die Geschichte einer gegenseitigen Verletzung, die Doris Lessing in diesen Erinnerungen aufgezeichnet hat, nüchtern und konkret, ohne in den Tonfall einer Abrechnung zu verfallen: »Ich versuchte unentwegt, mich dem Verlangen meiner Mutter zu entziehen, ich solle klüger als alle anderen sein.«Die Tochter, die in der Tat klüger werden sollte als viele andere, denkt zurück an den kolonialen Alltag im Rhodesien der dreißiger Jahre, an das Dasein ihrer Mutter und an sich selbst, »das Idealbild einer schwierigen Heranwachsenden«. Sie beschreibt, wie unerträglich ihre Mutter war und wie unerträglich sie, die Tochter.Das unsentimentale, scharfsichtige Porträt zweier Frauen, die einander ein Leben lang fremd blieben. 91 pp. Deutsch.
