Fionnáin reviewed The Sweetest Dream by Doris Lessing
Review of 'The Sweetest Dream' on 'GoodReads'
3 stars
The characters and central focus of this book (life moves, times change, ideologies corrupt) are brilliant, and it is cleverly and carefully written. At times the berating of ideology seems a bit too heavy-handed, even if it is easy to agree with the criticisms from the perspective of the novel. Recommended to politicos (like myself) as a worthy criticism of the danger of collective ideas versus the reality of life.
