The landmark novel of the Sixties - a powerful account of a woman searching for her personal; political and professional identity while facing rejection and betrayal. In 1950s London; novelist Anna Wulf struggles with writer's block. Divorced with a young child; and fearful of going mad; Anna records her experiences in four coloured notebooks: black for her writing life; red for political views; yellow for emotions; blue for everyday events. But it is a fifth notebook - the golden notebook - that finally pulls these wayward strands of her life together. Widely regarded as Doris Lessing's masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century; 'The Golden Notebook' is wry and perceptive; bold and indispensable.
