Set in Southern Rhodesia under white rule, Doris Lessing's first novel is at once a riveting chronicle of human disintegration, a beautifully understated social critique, and a brilliant depiction of the quiet horror of one woman's struggleagainst a ruthless fate. Mary Turner is a self-confident, independent young woman who becomes the depressed, frustrated wife of an ineffectual, unsuccessful farmer. Little by little the ennui of years on the farm works its slow poison. Mary's despair progresses until the fateful arrival of Moses, an enigmatic, virile black servant. Locked in anguish, Mary and Moses--master and slave--are trapped in a web of mounting attraction and repulsion, until their psychic tension explodes with devastating consequences.

評分看完萊辛的處女作。 開頭幾章風格和力度不太穩定，但越往後面越震懾，到最後，簡直就是驚人的好，不拿諾貝爾獎沒道理啊！看萊辛自己寫的回憶錄說，這本書讓她一舉成名，也促使她離開南非。她自嘲初版的封面非常低俗，出版社特意弄了個好像野獸的黑人，吸引人眼球。看完后，我只...
