About this product

Product Information

The classic first novel from the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 2007. Doris Lessing brought the manuscript of 'The Grass is Singing' with her when she left Southern Rhodesia and came to England in 1950. When it was first published it created an impact whose reverberations we are still feeling, and immediately established itself as a landmark in twentieth-century literature. Set in Rhodesia, it tells the story of Dick Turner, a failed white farmer and his wife, Mary, a town girl who hates the bush. Trapped by poverty, sapped by the heat of their tiny brick and iron house, Mary, lonely and frightened, turns to Moses, the black cook, for kindness and understanding. A masterpiece of realism, 'The Grass is Singing' is a superb evocation of Africa's majestic beauty, an intense psychological portrait of lives in confusion and, most of all, a passionate exploration of the ideology of white supremacy.

Doris Lessing's classic novel of 1950 will be of interest to readers like myself who have enjoyed such books as E.M. Forster's "A Passage to India" and Paul Scott's "Raj Quartet" as it is set in Southern Rhodesia in the 1940s and reveals the tensions in he relationship between the English and the native inhabitants. This edition by Harper Perennial would benefit from notes on abstruse vocabulary (e.g. "vlei") and a short history of Rhodesia and the Central African Federation for younger readers.

The Grass is Singing
I knew of the film that had been made of this book, although it is not available to buy. Doris Lessing's searing account of lives spent in poverty and uncertainty in the African bush makes for compelling reading. The unravelling of the main female character is heart-rending, as she gradually loses her mind, and control of her life, which ends so tragically. A must-read for anyone who knows and has lived in the bush on a farm, as I myself have done.I knew of the film that had been made of this book, although it is not available to buy.
