The way of Women

I love this book. Doris Lessing described every true feeling of women's innermost heart, happiness, anger and sorrow. Every short story presents different feeling of different events and ages. Women are so sentimental, so easy to be touched and have so much affection. Doris didn't leave words for ending in each story; however, she left the room for our imagination and we all know what is going to happen next.
