Gräset sjunger, E-bok
Doris Lessings debutroman Gräset sjunger från 1950 blev mycket uppmärksammad. Den handlar om en maktkamp på många plan mellan två förlorare: den naiva och olyckliga vita farmarfrun Mary och hennes svarte tjänare Moses. Denna psykologiska och politiska roman kulminerar med ett mord. Tragedin, som Doris Lessing berättar med återhållen vrede, har sitt ursprung i Sydafrikas bittra historia av rasmotsättningar och människoförakt. Gräset sjunger är en sorgesång och ett litterärt mästerverk.Boken blev förbjuden i Rhodesia och Doris Lessing förbjöds att besöka Rhodesia och Sydafrika.
