'In "The Good Terrorist" we are in the world of the subsidized sub-culture of the Marxist groupuscules of contemporary Britain...Lessing has a wit, an indignation and a narrative agility which leave few left-wing sacred cows unscathed...hugely enjoyable.' Sunday Times
'Doris Lessing writes about the parts other novelists cannot reach. This is a totally absorbing, subtly observed, complicated and stimulating novel.' Observer
'"The Good Terrorist" is a work of acute intelligence, incisive and compelling...it shows Doris Lessing at her mature best.' Listener
Praise for Doris Lessing:
'Doris Lessing has changed the way we think about the world.' Blake Morrison
'Thank goodness for Doris Lessing. While the rest of us flounder about noisily in the muddy waters of life, she never fails to expose with startling clarity the essential folly of our dreams and good intentions.' Kate Chisholm, Evening Standard
'She's up there in the pantheon with Balzac and George Eliot. We're lucky she's still writing.' Lisa Appignanesi, Independent
