New Statesman Doris Lessing responds more passionately than most writers to people or situations: often she responds with hate or rancour, but always with passion. In The Grass is Singing, you can feel the dynamo-like throb of a formidable talent; by its side, most novels of 1950 look like crochet-work. The Times The Grass is Singing focuses on the blighted life of a woman whose spirit is destroyed by a disastrous marriage and by an environment to which she couldnt respond. More than any other white African writer of her generation, Doris Lessing is aware of the seductive cruelty of colonialism, and is one of our strongest, fiercest voices against injustice, racism and sexual hypocrisy.
