Description
Stato di conservazione: MOLTO BUONO, piccole tracce d'uso e del tempo alla sovraccoperta, fioriture alle sguardie, lieve traccia di polvere al taglio sup., per il resto in ottime condizioni. Lingua: inglese.
The diaries of Jane Somers, first published pseudonymously and separately as The diary of a good neighbour and If the old could., appear here in one volume for the first time under Doris Lessing's name, together with a new preface by the author. At the centre of both novels is attractive, intelligent magazine editor Jane Somers, whose wry perception informs and animates every page. Jane was and ambitious journalist concerned with success, clothes and confort when her life changed. Her husband died, then her mother. Suddenly understanding her real inadequacy, Jane becomes deeply committed to the veryold and deprived, making paticular friends with one old woman, Maudie, whose life has been all struggle and poverty.
