1984réf. 50071London: Michael Joseph 1984. First edition. Octavo original cloth. Signed by Doris Lessing on the title page. Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Phil Kay. First published in 1984 under a pseudonym as 'The Diary of a Good Neighbour' and 'If the Old Could .' now published as 'The Diaries of Jane Somers' this is in many ways classic Lessing. As resonant with social and political themes as 'The Golden Notebook' Lessing returns to the realism of her early fiction with the wisdom and experience of maturity. The diaries introduce us to Jane an intelligent and beautiful magazine editor concerned with success clothes and comfort. But her real inadequacy is highlighted when first her husband then her mother die from cancer and Jane feels strangely removed. In an attempt to fill this void she befriends ninety-something Maudie whose poverty and squalor contrast so radically with the glamour and luxury of the magazine world. The two gradually come to depend on each other - Maudie delighting Jane with tales of London in the 1920s and Jane trying to care for the rapidly deteriorating old woman. 'The Diary of Jane Somers' contrasts the helplessness of the elderly with that of the young as Jane is forced to care for her nineteen-year-old drop-out niece Kate who is struggling with an emotional breakdown. Jane realizes that she understands young people as little as she so recently did the old. Michael Joseph hardcover
