The landmark novel of the Sixties – a powerful account of a woman searching for her personal, political and professional identity while facing rejection and betrayal.
In 1950s London, novelist Anna Wulf struggles with writer’s block. Divorced with a young child, and fearful of going mad, Anna records her experiences in four coloured notebooks: black for her writing life, red for political views, yellow for emotions, blue for everyday events. But it is a fifth notebook – the golden notebook – that finally pulls these wayward strands of her life together.
Widely regarded as Doris Lessing’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, ‘The Golden Notebook’ is wry and perceptive, bold and indispensable.
Doris Lessing was born of British parents in Persia, in 1919, and moved with her family to southern Rhodesia when she was five years old. She moved to England in 1949 and made her home there.
She is the author of more than 30 books—novels, stories, reportage, poems, and plays. In 2007, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. She passed away in 2013.
