Walking in the Shade is full of Doris Lessing’s strong and direct thinking about love, money, politics and people. It recreates the chaotic way all of us experience our lives, and the fragmentary nature of memory. Again and again, Doris Lessing takes its readers to a new understanding, and then with a final turn of the screw, opens up a further, unexpected perspective. Shrewd and clear-sighted, Walking in the Shade is a slice of social history as well as an account of Doris Lessing’s Sentimental Education.
