About This Item
Harper Collins, 1994. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. 419 pages. The first of two volumes, covering the author's childhood in Africa until her arrival in London with the manuscript of her first novel in her suitcase. First US edition (first printing). Some spotting to page block and a remainder mark on the bottom edge, thus a near fine copy. In a dust jacket with a touch of wear to the edges, else fine. Signed by the author on the half-title page.
Doris Lessing's most important work since The Golden Notebook, this extraordinary autobiography that covers the first 30 years of her life sets new standards for candor in the genre and is sure to have a lasting impact on its readers. 16 pages of photos.
