Before it all slips away from my feeble psychological grasp, before the after-effects start wearing off, let me write it all out. About the summer before the dark.The first thing that struck me while reading was this - Fuck purple prose. Or red or maroon or magenta prose for that matter. (And I say ...
It's probably typical of me that this minor work is the first of only two of Lessing's works I have read (the other is The Good Terrorist). Economical and piercing account of a year in a woman's life in the slippery ground between middle and old age.
Truly an excellent novel. It's been too long, now, to give it an adequate review, but I liked this book the best, I think, of anything I've read by Lessing.
