100 word review: The Golden Notebook

Doris Lessing is an author that everyone should read, purely for her credentials: winner of the nobel prize for literature, a Companion of Honour and a Companion of Literature, David Cohen Memorial prize for British Literature, Spain's Prince of Asturias Prize, the International Catalunya award and the S.T. Dupont Golden PEN Award for a Lifetime's Distinguished Service to Lierature, to name but a few. The Golden Notebook gives a fascinating political insight into socialist and communist thought in the 1950s as well as the moving story of a woman trying to find herself. Brilliant book that should definitely be read.
