The Echoing Grove de Rosamond Lehmann

The Echoing Grove: Virago Modern Classics

Autor Rosamond Lehmann
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 noi 2026
ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE BRITISH WRITERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

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

'Full of her sensibility, her funniness, her own peculiar acumen' ELIZABETH JANE HOWARD

'Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love' MARGARET DRABBLE

Two sisters: Madeleine and Dinah. One husband: Rickie Masters. For many years now, Dinah, exotic and sensual, has conducted a clandestine affair with Rickie. Madeleine, calm and resolute, has accepted that her marriage has been of limited success. Rickie's sudden death makes widows of both sisters in this highly imaginative novel that explores with extraordinary insight the sublimity, the rivalry and the pain of personal relationships.

'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' SUNDAY TIMES

Recenzii

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
Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love
They were meeting to be reconciled after fifteen years. This present mood in which they sat relaxed was nothing more than the relief of two people coming back to a bombed building once familiar . . .

Two sisters, Madeleine and Dinah, have made a wary truce after years of estrangement. For over a decade, bohemian, sensual Dinah has been conducting a clandestine affair with her sister's husband, Rickie; while conventional, resolute Madeleine has accepted that her marriage has been of limited success. Now Rickie's sudden death has made widows of both sisters - leaving them to come to terms with the shattered fragments of their own relationship.

This heartbreaking novel explores with extraordinary insight the rivalry, the beauty and the pain of love.

'[She has] an extraordinary gift for description, for evoking the tones and textures of the material world; an exceptionally sophisticated approach to structure . . . and, above all, an astonishing, unembarrassed emotionality' JONATHAN COE

'Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love' MARGARET DRABBLE

Notă biografică

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.
