A highly personal story of the eminent British writer returning to her African roots that is "brilliant... [and] captures the contradictions of a young country." -- New York Times Book Review

A rich and penetrating portrait of Lessing's homeland, African Laughter recounts the visits she made to Zimbabwe in 1982, 1988, 1989, and 1992, after being exiled from the old Southern Rhodesia for 25 years for her opposition to the minority white government. Lessing uses memory and reminiscence with recent experience to depict a country in the process of change.
