Arguably Doris Lessing’s magnum opus, The Golden Notebook tells the story of Anna, a woman reconciling with aspects of her identity that she has kept in four colour coded notebooks. The story explores love, politics, and modernity. A wonderful portrait of the complexity of human existence.

‘The Golden Notebook is the kind of novel every publisher waits for impatiently – a major work by a major talent. It is surely one of the most important English novels of our time.’ – front dust jacket.
