Description for The Grandmothers
Paperback.
Four novellas by Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, that once again show her to be unequalled in her ability to capture the truth of the human condition.

Written with a keen cinematic eye, the story is a ruthless dissection of the veneer of middle-class morality and convention.
