Set in South Africa under white rule, Doris Lessing's first novel is both a riveting chronicle of human disintegration and a beautifully understated social critique. 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 work their slow poison, and Mary's despair progresses until the fateful arrival of an enigmatic and virile black servant, Moses. Locked in anguish, Mary and Moses--master and slave--are trapped in a web of mounting attraction and repulsion. Their psychic tension explodes in an electrifying scene that ends this disturbing tale of racial strife in colonial South Africa.</P>
The Grass Is Singing blends Lessing's imaginative vision with her own vividly remembered early childhood to recreate the quiet horror of a woman's struggle against a ruthless fate.</P>

評分（unpolished random thoughts, 自己备忘用） 这本书里的很多东西后来都在GN里重复出现了，从Lessing行文的细节，一些句子的构造，段落内和段落间的tension到recurring motifs (race/gender/etc., mental illness/dreams as a freudian device, etc.). 作为一部反映“社会现实...

评分a life long weakness
评分這本的文筆一般。納博科夫記得是說過，一流作傢let the course of action reveals itself，而不是顯山露水地寫悲愁（paraphrase, 非原句）。domestic wife + color clashes的題材屢見不鮮吧，讀的時候常常想起Denis的chocolat。
评分What makes this novel interesting is the various roles of farming in third world countries during the early twentieth century.
