À propos de l'auteur

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.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

I hurried on with my reminiscences, playing them out as it might be on a length of rope to reach a group of human figures marooned in time past, myself among them. . .


Rebecca, the heroine of The Ballad and the Source, is now a grown woman in a changed world. Reeling from the betrayal of her married lover, she arrives alone at a small Caribbean island, where she encounters a splendidly eccentric British expatriate community. But it is former ace pilot Johnny - now a misanthropic recluse, nursing his own suffering - who reminds her of the life-affirming potential of love. As they embark on a passionate affair, Rebecca begins to listen to the voices from her past - reminding her of the girl she was and the woman she could become.


'Full of her sensibility, her funniness, her own particular acumen . . . beautifully written and devised' ELIZABETH JANE HOWARD


'No English writer has told of the pains of women in love more truly or more movingly than Rosamond Lehmann' MARGHANITA LASKI


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