A review by susanbrooks
Alfred and Emily by Doris Lessing
2.0
Doris Lessing's premise was interesting. She wrote a fictionalized version
of her parents' lives - if they were not scarred by WWI (Alfred was a vet, Emily a nurse.) It was a more melancholy view than I'd expected. The second part was supposed to be an exploration of their lives as they really were.
It was a nonlinear jumble, jumping from their life on a farm in Rhodesia to events of later years.
