Media Reviews
She makes a mood, an atmosphere, which is only hers, and is never forgotten... the inner voice of women talking to themselves about their love affairs, knowing that its hopeless, having to go ahead anyway, expecting the end as soon as it begins. That of course is what Rosamund Lehmann does best. * SUNDAY TIMES *
Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love * Margaret Drabble *
A novelist in the grand tradition . . . The first writer to filter her stories through a woman's feelings and perceptions * Anita Brookner *
She is immensely readable, acute, passionate, funny and original * Elizabeth Jane Howard *
