«Diario de una buena vecina» is the novel by Doris Lessing published in hardback (255 pages, in Spanish).
Jane Somers is a London fashion editor who maintains an orderly, unattached life, until she strikes up a relationship with Maudie Fowler, a strong-willed elderly woman living in precarious conditions. That friendship confronts her with old age, loneliness and her own emotional reserves, and forces her to rethink what it means to care for someone.
Doris Lessing originally published the work in 1983 as The Diary of a Good Neighbor, under the pseudonym Jane Somers; it is part of the series The Diaries of Jane Somers.
For readers of literary fiction, twentieth-century British narrative and works centred on female characters.
Doris May Lessing was a British novelist – sometimes identified as Rhodesian early in her career – and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007.
