Reviews
Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love
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
Full of her sensibility, her funniness, her own peculiar acumen
Lehmann legitimised a type of writing that took on deep personal themes
A novelist in the grand tradition . . . The first writer to filter her stories through a woman's feelings and perceptions
