The grande dame of English Literature -some of her most perceptive, most revelatory stories, beautifully repackaged. For more than four decades, Doris Lessing's work has observed the passion and confusion of human relationships, holding a mirror up to ourselves in her unflinching dissection of the everyday. From the magnificent To Room Nineteen, a study of a dry, controlled middle-class marriage 'grounded in intelligence', to the shocking A Woman on the Roof', where a workman becomes obsessed with a pretty sunbather, this superb collection of stories, written over four decades, from the 1950s to the 1990s, bears stunning witness to Doris Lessing's perspective on the human condition.
