Product Synopsis

'The Golden Notebook', the landmark novel by Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing, is a powerful account of a woman searching for her personal, political and professional identity amid the trauma of emotional rejection and sexual betrayal. In 1950s London, novelist Anna Wulf struggles with writer's block. Divorced with a young child, and fearful of going mad, Anna records her experiences in four coloured notebooks: black for her writing life, red for political views, yellow for emotions, blue for everyday events. But it is a fifth notebook - the golden notebook - that finally pulls these wayward strands of her life together. Widely regarded as Doris Lessing's masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, 'The Golden Notebook' is wry and perceptive, bold and indispensable.

Anna Wulf is a writer with writers block. In an attempt to combat this she decides to start four notebooks in which she records all the different aspects of her life. Red for politics; blue for day-to-day life; yellow for past and present relationships and the black for her concerns as a writer. Then there is the fifth, the eponymous golden notebook, which becomes a way for her to synthesise these strands of her life and try to make sense of her disparate experiences. - Rachel Charing Cross Rd Bookshop - 11/03/2011
