Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
More casually written and organized than Under My Skin, the second volume of Doris Lessing's autobiography boasts the same acute, brutally frank insights. She begins with her 1949 arrival in London as a 30-year-old single mother from Rhodesia who is searching for a place and the means to write freely; Lessing closes in 1962 with the publication of her most famous novel, The Golden Notebook. In between, she covers love affairs, years of psychotherapy, and her increasingly disenchanted involvement with the Communist Party. Walking in the Shade is essential reading for anyone interested in mid-century British culture.
Synopsis
This is Doris Lessing's follow-up to the first part of her autobiography, "Under My Skin". Here, we move into the heyday of her career, sparked off by the international success of her first novel in 1950. She went on to forge a unique role for herself in British literary and political life.
