Set in South Africa under white rule, Doris Lessing's first novel is both a riveting chronicle of human disintegration and a beautifully understated social critique. Mary Turner is a self-confident, independent young woman who becomes the depressed, frustrated wife of an ineffectual, unsuccessful farmer. Little by little the ennui of years on the farm work their slow poison, and Mary's despair progresses until the fateful arrival of an enigmatic and virile black servant, Moses. Locked in anguish, Mary and Moses--master and slave--are trapped in a web of mounting attraction and repulsion. Their psychic tension explodes in an electrifying scene that ends this disturbing tale of racial strife in colonial South Africa.</P>
The Grass Is Singing blends Lessing's imaginative vision with her own vividly remembered early childhood to recreate the quiet horror of a woman's struggle against a ruthless fate.</P>

評分14-20.10.17 這本書之於Lessing是否也像FoW之於Anna呢?可能對我來說讀Lessing的其他書都是為瞭能更好地理解GN// L的第一本書告訴我們,sophistication是可以練齣來的,而與生俱來的天賦是遮擋不住的。
評分對作死人格無與倫比的描寫;彆結婚,無辜的迪剋先生
