ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE BRITISH WRITERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY'She uses words with the enjoyment and mastery with which Renoir used to paint' REBECCA WEST 'Lehmann legitimised a type of writing that took on deep personal themes' ENGLISH PEN 'No English writer has told the pains of women in love more truly or more movingly' MARGHANITA LASKI Grace Fairfax lives with her dull, conventional husband Tom in a grey manufacturing town in the north of England.
At thirty-four she finds that her external life of dreary routine fails to match up to her lush, wistful and dreamy internal life. Norah, her energetic and chaotic friend, is equally settled in her own marriage to an irritable university professor. Then Hugh Miller and his sister Claire descend upon the quiet town. On all four, the hypnotic charm of these two visitors exerts an enchanting spell. And after their departure, life - having been violently disrupted - will never be quite the same again .

Biographie de Rosamond Lehmann

Rosamond Lehmann (1901-1990) was born on the day of Queen Victoria's funeral, in Buckinghamshire, England, the second of four children. In 1927, a few years after graduating from the University of Cambridge, she published her first novel, Dusty Answer, to critical acclaim and instantaneous celebrity. Lehmann continued to write and publish between 1930 and 1976, penning works including The Weather in the Streets, The Ballad and the Source, and the short memoir The Swan in the Evening.
Lehmann was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1982 and remains one of the most distinguished novelists of the twentieth century.
