*One of Rosamond Lehmann's most acclaimed novels * A widely acclaimed novel by one of Virago Modern Classic's bestselling and best-loved classic novelists
Rosamond Lehmann (1901-1990) was born in Buckinghamshire and educated privately before going to Girton College, Cambridge, as a scholar. She was made a CBE in 1982 and remains one of the most distinguished writers of the 20th century.
She makes a mood, an atmosphere, which is never forgotten . . . The
inner voice of women talking to themselves about their love
affairs, knowing that it is hopeless, having to go ahead anyway,
expecting the end as soon as it begins. That, of course, is what
Rosamond Lehmann does best
*Sunday Times*
Full of her sensibility, her funniness, her own peculiar acumen
*Elizabeth Jane Howard*
Lehmann legitimised a type of writing that took on deep personal
themes
*English PEN*
A novelist in the grand tradition . . . The first writer to filter
her stories through a woman's feelings and perceptions
*Anita Brookner*
Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love
*Margaret Drabble*
