Review

"An audacious and disturbing work from one of the world's great living writers." -Paul Gray, Time"A stunning book.... Read it, read Lessing like a message of hope in dark times...read her for a winter's evening entertainment; read her to nourish your soul." -Frank Pierson, Los Angeles Times"If the subsequent novels sustain the power of Shikasta...this series may well be a masterpiece." -The Atlantic
