Both in her personal life and in her literature, Doris Lessing broke the rules. Born in Persia and raised in Rhodesia by a hypercritical mother and a father who was shell-shocked through the First World War, she was forever in search of her essential identity. Twice married and divorced prior to the age of thirty, she moved to Britain with one of her children and little more than an unpublished manuscript in her suitcase. Ardently embracing communism, then feminism, she would discard them both a long time before their attractions faded for others. Being a writer, she regularly charted new territory, most famously with the series of science fiction novels she submitted under a pseudonym. Predicated on numerous interviews and sources, this is a remarkable portrait of an celebrated literary rebel who continually reinvented herself and the globe in her prodigious work.
