There's not much in this book that Lessing herself hasn't already said in her autobiographies and in interviews.Klein's obnoxious second-guessing at Lessing's decisions and how she's lived her life is unappealing. The few new facts she has dug up about Lessing are irrelevant. Lessing herself is far more interesting and impressive than Klein can ever hope to communicate in this badly written, even more badly edited, book.
