The Cleft; The Sun Between Their Feet: Collected African Stories Vol. 2; Doris Lessing, HarperCollins, £7.99 and £.8.99.

Winner of the Nobel Prize of Literature 2007. Doris Lessing is one of the most celebrated and distinguished writers in recent decades.

Lessing’s fiction is deeply autobiographical, much of it emerging out of her experiences in Africa. Drawing upon her childhood memories and her serious engagement with politics and social concerns, Lessing has written about the clash of cultures, the gross injustices of racial inequality, the struggle among opposing elements within an individual’s own personality, and the conflict between the individual conscience and the collective good.
