Plot

The Grass Is Singing is a bleakly dark portrayal of pre-independence Zimbabwe. Its uncompromising approach delves into gloomy psychological territory which is enhanced by the theme of post-colonial racism. In the 1950's, Lessing's book would have raised many uncomfortable questions. She was covering important new ground, writing elegant prose and using the power of the story to make political points. Great literature - and I would call this such - is a vehicle for expansive thought, detailed discussion and enjoyment.
