About this product

Product Information

The landmark novel by Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing - a powerful account of a woman searching for her personal, political and professional identity while facing rejection and betrayal. Anna Wulf is a young novelist with writer's block. Divorced, with a young child, and disillusioned by unsatisfactory relationships, she feels her life is falling apart. Fearing the onset of madness, she records her experiences in four coloured notebooks. The black notebook addresses her problems as a writer; the red her political life; the yellow her relationships and emotions; and the blue becomes a diary of everyday events. But it is the fifth notebook - the Golden Notebook - which is the key to her recovery and renaissance. Bold and illuminating, fusing sex, politics, madness and motherhood, 'The Golden Notebook' is at once a wry and perceptive portrait of the intellectual and moral climate of the 1950s - a society on the brink of feminism - and a powerful and revealing account of a woman searching for her own personal and political identity.

  • A necessary study book.

    A very large book with very small print. I'm reading it because it's on a reading list but I wouldn't recommend it as a fun read. However as a study book it is fine. If you have an e-reader load it on this, as it is a much easier read.

  • Good value, perhaps

    No wonder this book is so well rated, 578 pages for a fiver. That’s just over a penny a page, outstanding.
