In September 2014 she began writing essays in the London Review of Books describing living with terminal cancer and examining her complex, fifty-year relationship with the author Doris Lessing, who took Jenny in when she was a troubled teenager. Interweaving past and present, Diski's narrative transports us to the hysterical battlefield of her parental home, her expulsion from school, her drug-taking twenties spent in and out of psychiatric hospitals - and paints a portrait of two extraordinary writers.From one of our most original voices comes a book like no other: a cerebral, witty, candid masterpiece about an uneasy relationship; about memory and writing, ingratitude and anger; about living with illness and facing death.
