Synopsis
This is the first volume of Doris Lessing's autobigraphy, beginning with her childhood in Africa, taking us through her marriages, the birth of her children, involvement in communist politics, and ending on her arrival in London in 1949 with the typescript of her first novel, "The Grass is Singing", in her suitcase. It tells the story of a young woman, uncompromising in every respect, who battles at every turn against her upbringing and environment in Southern Rhodesia, who fights for her individuality and self-determination at any cost.
