Lyhyt elämäkerta
A popular, beautiful and talented British female writer of the 1920s and '30s. She was known for capturing the post WWI outlook of her "lost Generation." She was very skillful at depicting the bind women of the time experienced as war and technology modernized social conventions permanently. She brought home the now eternal feminist problem of having it all: surrendering to a man versus being independent.

Rosamond Lehmann was an older sister of actress Beatrix Lehmann and writer John Lehmann. Her family lived in grand style and Rosamond and her siblings were educated by governesses and tutors. She won a scholarship to Cambridge University, where she read English literature and modern and medieval languages. She married firstly Leslie (later Lord) Runciman, but the marriage was unhappy and the couple divorced in 1927. That same year, she published her first novel, Dusty Answer, which won both critical and popular acclaim. In 1928, she married painter Wogan Philipps, who became Baron Milford. The couple had two children before they divorced.
She had a long affair in the 1940s with the poet Cecil Day-Lewis. The Literary Encyclopedia says, "Rosamond Lehmann was one of the most celebrated writers of the late 1920s and 1930s, famed as much for her beauty and elegance as for her well-crafted interwar novels. Consistently blending romance and loss, her work captures the Zeitgeist of a period much given to nostalgia. Her lasting achievement, however, lies in her acute sense of the tensions and conflicts in women's lives in the interwar years: in the portrayal of the impasse between modernity and convention, between the desire for romance and the need for independence." Lehmann was close with many members of the Bloomsbury Group. She wrote plays and short stories in addition to novels. After the death of her daughter Sally in 1958, Lehmann was emotionally shattered and grew deeply interested in spiritualism; she was elected vice-president of the College of Psychic Studies and edited its publication. In 1967, she published the autobiographical The Swan in the Evening. She also co-wrote the two-volume work Letters from Our Daughters (1971) with Cynthia, Lady Sandys.

Au cours de son premier bal, une jeune fille prend une leçon de vie. La société provinciale anglaise des années 20. Nombreux thèmes : la famille, l'amitié, le besoin de plaire et le dégoût de ce besoin, l'empathie pour autrui, la rigidité et la porosité des classes sociales.
Un sens de la beauté et de la cruauté du monde qui fait penser à Katherine Mansfield et à la Garden Party.

La storia d’amore tra Olivia e Rollo è ordinaria, uno dei tanti rapporti tra due amanti di diverse condizioni sociali. Olivia è una bella ragazza di umili origini che si affaccia puntualmente sul palcoscenico dell’alta società; ma, appunto, si può solo affacciare. Rollo, invece, è a pieno titolo un lord inglese, è ricco, è bello ed è generoso. Ma c’è un problema, che in realtà è il solito problema, Rollo ha una moglie Valentina e lo spazio riservato ad Olivia è quello che usualmente si attribuisce ad un’amante. Olivia soffre questa situazione al punto, addirittura, di decidere di non informare Rollo della sua decisione di interrompere una gravidanza. Quando comunicherà al suo amante questa decisione, l’uomo patirà il silenzio della sua donna, ma Valentina è finalmente in attesa di un figlio, il suo erede, la donna di Rollo è e sarà sempre lei. Un romanzo semplice, quasi d’appendice, ma scritto con eleganza ed intensità.… (lisätietoja)
