Review

"The most absorbing and exciting piece of new fiction I have read in a decade: it moves with the beat of our time, and it is true."

"'The Golden Notebook' is Doris Lessing's most important work, and has left its mark upon the ideas and feelings of a whole generation of women."

First line

The two women were alone in the London flat.

Annotation

This novel is widely considered to be Lessing's masterpiece. Anna Wulf, a writer living in London, attempts to conquer the chaos of her life by using five notebooks as journals: the black one deals with her life in colonial Africa, the red is her Communist experiences, the yellow is a more or less fictionalized chronicle of Anna's alter ego Ella, and the blue is a diary of Anna's day to day life. The golden notebook involves Anna's integration of herself through analysis. The novel also contains Anna's own novel, called "Free Women." Complex, layered, psychological, "The Golden Notebook" was hailed as a feminist work when it was originally published--yet its appeal goes beyond sexual politics to consider the construction, disintegration, and rebuilding of a personality in a way that has reached readers, both male and female, for many years since.
