Follows volume 1 of autobiography "Under My Skin", "Walking in the Shade" describes how communism dominated the intellectual life of the 1950s, and the re-creation of the cast of mind, with all its idealism and sense of responsibility for the world … The second part of her autobiography, dealing with the years 1949-1962. She arrived in England in 1949, with a small child, £150 and the manuscript of 'The Grass Is Singing", Living in squalid lodgings, always poor, and above all, consumed by the difficulties of being a single mother.
he 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.
