whimsymusings's review against another edition
3.0
This is such a powerful book, despite me not liking it very much towards the end. The book is jarring, it alienates you and creeps you out with its style and writing. This form in itself is a reflection of the book and the message it's trying to deliver. I loved how unconventional it is, how out of the familiar and confusing it is. Just as the protagonist is, so to speak. I would not expect anything less from Doris Lessing, this books as all others I've read of her, is a must read for everyone.

too confusing for kindle - need the physical book, but I wasn't invested enough to look for it

Bardzo podobał mi się styl pisania Lessing i jej koncepcja na całą książkę, jednak wiem, że to nie będzie historia, która zostanie ze mną na zawsze. Była przyjemna i fascynująca do przeczytania, ale prawdopodobnie nigdy do niej nie wrócę, nawet w myślach.
