The Golden Notebook is Doris Lessing's most important work, a novel that has left an indelible mark on the ideas and feelings of a whole generation of women. Anna, a writer and author of a successful novel, keeps four notebooks where she records her experiences in Africa, her political life, a novel where the heroine relives part of her life, and a personal diary. In love with an American writer and on the verge of madness, Anna decides to unite all the threads of her notebooks in a golden one. This Perennial Classics edition, published in 1999, presents Lessing's masterpiece in paperback.
