Intrigued, I decided to choose this one for my challenge and got started reading it last week. This was Lessing's first novel, and she went on after it to write many more, eventually winning the Nobel Prize for Literature for her body of work. This novel, set in South Africa and dealing with racial issues between black and white citizens, was a big success upon its publication in the 1950s. After a bit of Googling, I came across The Grass is Singing by Doris Lessing. In looking over my Classics Club list of books, I was disappointed to see that there was nothing left on it I could read that qualified, so I did some research. The very last prompt I had left to finish in my 2019 Back to the Classics Challenge was to read a classic from Africa, Asia, or Oceania.
