Press Reviews

• Sunday Times

  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

• Elizabeth Jane Howard

  Full of her sensibility, her funniness, her own peculiar acumen

• English PEN

  Lehmann legitimised a type of writing that took on deep personal themes

• Margaret Drabble

  Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love

• Anita Brookner

  A novelist in the grand tradition . . . The first writer to filter her stories through a woman's feelings and perceptions
