If you...I wrote my dissertation in part on Lessing. If you still haven't read any of her work, I recommend her novella "The Fifth Child" as an excellent place to start. It was the first book I read by her, only a year or two after it was published, and it motivated me to read all her work. A compelling that I still think about often, 25+ years after I first read it and 20+ years after finishing my dissertation.Andrew Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804655739574694901noreply@blogger.com
