About this title: Beginning with Kennedy's assassination in 1963, Doris Lessing's very autobiographical novel chronicles, over two decades, the story of Frances Lennox, her two sons, and her unsavory ex-husband, Johnny, a self-important Marxist who drops in and out of her life wreaking various kinds of havoc. At the end of the novel, a peripheral character named Sylvia--the daughter of Johnny's second wife--becomes the focus, as she goes about her daily life as a doctor in a small mission town in Zimbabwe. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

"If you are interested in combining the realities of politics and society in sixties England with the grace and flow of story, The Sweetest Dream will not disappoint. I have now ordered Lessing's short stories and am interested to see what she produces in a shorter form."
