  The Grass Is Singing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grass is Singing is a book by Doris Lessing.
As her relationship with the decent and gentle, but fundamentally weak, Dick deteriorates and the fortunes of the farm decline due to Dick's incompetence, she veers from an almost hysterical racism to an illicit and ultimately destructive sexual relationship with one of the fl Rhodesian farm workers.
The Grass is Singing is a bleak and terrifying analysis of a failed marriage, the febrile neurosis of white sexuality, and the fear of fl power and energy which Lessing saw as underlying the white colonial experience of Africa.
