About this title

Synopsis:

Anna is a writer, author of one very successful novel, who now keeps four notebooks. In one with a black cover she reviews the African experience of her earlier years. In a red one records her political life, her disillusionment with Communism. In a yellow one she writes a novel in which the heroine relives part of her own experience. And in a blue one she keeps a personal diary. Finally, in love with an American writer, threatened with insanity, Anna tries to bring the threads of all four books together in a golden notebook.

Review:

""The Golden Notebook" is Doris Lessing's most important work and has left its mark upon the ideas and feelings of a whole generation of women." -- Elizabeth Hardwick, "New York Times Book Review""The most absorbing and exciting piece of new fiction I have read in a decades; it moves with the beat of our time, and it is true." -- Irving Howe, "New Republic""No ordinary work of fiction...The technique, in a word, is brilliant." -- "Saturday Review"
