A review by emilymls
The Grass Is Singing by Doris Lessing

4.0

Most of the big events in the story are left implicit on purpose-the plot revolves around the horribly depressing life of a hopeless woman, trapped in an unhappy marriage with a poor farmer. The book does a good job of helping the reader understand the geographical and historical context of the story, and does so by including explicit scenes of 'tab-boo' issues such as racism and white supremacy in africa.
