Golden Notebook

Lessing''s powerful and liberating novel raised the consciousness of a generation, and continues to resonate through the world today. Its central character, Anna, is a writer, the author of one very successful novel, who keeps four notebooks. In one with a black cover she reviews the experiences of her younger years in Africa. A red one records her political life, and growing disillusionment with Communism. In a yellow one Anna writes a novel in which the heroine relives parts of her own experience. And a blue one serves as her personal diary. In love with a macho American writer, threatened with insanity, and fragmented by her own writings, Anna finally gathers the threads of all four journals in a golden notebook.
