Review

"...it may be Mrs. Lessing's most significant contribution that she has lived and written not with an eye to transcendence or posterity but to experiencing her own time most fully."

Publisher's note

"I was born with skins too few. Or they were scrubbed off me by...robust and efficient hands." The experiences absorbed through these "skins too few" are evoked in this memoir of Doris Lessing's childhood and youth as the daughter of a British colonial family in Persia and Southern Rhodesia Honestly and with overwhelming immediacy, Lessing maps the growth of her consciousness, her sexuality, and her politics, offering a rare opportunity to get under her skin and discover the forces that made her one of the most distinguished writers of our time.

Annotation

Doris Lessing offers her autobiography up to the year 1949, from her childhood and adolescence in Rhodesia, to her first marriage and abandonment of her two children, her jettisoning of religion and adopting of political activism. Though autobiographical elements have always found a way into her fiction, here are the facts themselves.
