Hi David
I have not read the Golden Notebook but I did read most of the Martha Quest
series. These start as a standard fictional biographical novel detailing
Martha's growing up in South Africa and her migration to London but then
they start getting surreal. She is living in Post-World War II London and
somehow the bomb damage and her pregnacy lead her to believe that her child
is some kind of an alien with special powers. At this point I gave up. I
think it was the third of fourth books in the series. The Golden Notebook
was written after this series and I understand that it has weird aspects but
don't really know.

Subject: [ebooktalk] What to read next?
Hi all
I feel like a change from my usual literary diet of murder and mayhem. I
have a list of books for such occasions, books I have wanted to read for
ages and just not done so. I just picked a book at random and it turns out
to be Doris Lesssing's "Golden notebook". I do not know why it is on my
list, although I have heard it is worth reading.
Has anyone read it and if so do you have any comments, either positive or
otherwise. Not sure I have read Lessing before, so it should be
interesting.
David
