Produktbeschreibung
This lively, perceptive and beautifully handled portrait is a triumph of the biographer's art. Rosamond Lehmann (1901-1990) led a life as romantic and tempestuous as that of any of her fictional heroines. Based on a large collection of personal letters never before seen or published, this lively biography conjures up the intimate world of the British novelist whose dramatic life, work and relationships criss-crossed the cultural, literary and political landscape of England in the middle of the twentieth century. "From the Hardcover edition."
Her first novel, the shocking Dusty Answer, became wildly successful launching her career as a novelist and, just as her novels depicted the tempestuous lives of her heroines, Rosamond's personal life would be full of heartbreaking affairs and lost loves.
