The Memoirs of a Survivor

a 1976 Bantam pocket sized paperback novel by Doris Lessing

This is a dystopian novel about post apocalyptic London and a woman who suddenly finds herself the guardian of a twelve year old girl. It is Lessing at perhaps her weirdest and most succinct as reality starts to crack and fall away from each character.

217 pages

note: I have four copies currently available and three of them are from 1976 but one is 1979--however, they are all the same edition. If that makes sense. They all look exactly like the images here.
