By Nobel Prize-winning author Doris Lessing, a masterpiece of realism, ‘The Grass is Singing’ is a superb evocation of Africa’s majestic beauty, an intense psychological portrait of lives in confusion and, most of all, a fearless exploration of the ideology of white supremacy. The novel created a sensation when it was first published in 1950 and became an instant success in Europe and the United States.
