The Grandmothers: Four Short Novels is collection of four novellas published in 2003 by 2007 Nobel laureate Doris Lessing.

The 2013 Australian-French film Adore (alternatively known as Adoration) is based on the story The Grandmothers. The director Anne Fontaine said Lessing told her when they met that it was based on a true story that took place in a small community in Australia.[1] In 2014, the story Victoria and the Staveneys was adapted into a French film by Jean-Paul Civeyrac called Mon amie Victoria.[2]
