Critics Review
Lehmann is unbeatable on social nuance, both among the London bohemian set and Rollo’s more conventional upper-class milieu. No one could be more attractive or caddish than Lehmann’s Rollo, the married man who entrances our heroine. The ultimate tragic love story
She is immensely readable, acute, passionate, funny and original - Elizabeth Jane HowardThe first writer to filter her stories through a woman’s feelings & perceptions - Anita Brookner‘A truly great book. It is beautifully written, shrewdly observed and deftly crafted, but the novel’s real concern is what it means for a woman to live an authentic life’The Weather in the Streets astounded women and men with its searing depiction of what it’s like to fall in love … With brilliant dialogue and intense passages of elation and despair, The Weather in the Streets takes you on the rollercoaster of their relationship - Sunday TelegraphAbout The Author
Rosamond Lehmann
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.
