Описание: A young girl befriends an elderly woman during the First World War in this remarkable novel by one of Britains best-loved authors Sibyl Jardine, the former best friend of Rebecca Landons grandmother, has recently returned to the Priory, her home at the top of a hill. Rebecca is instantly drawn in by Sibyls magnetic personality and blunt, shocking manner. Decades earlier, Sibyl had left her husband Charles for another man and, as a result, lost her daughter Ianthe. Now she is finally about to meet her three grandchildren, who will become an integral part of Rebeccas life as she journeys into adolescence. At the heart of this extraordinary novel is the enigma that is Sibyl Jardine: Is she a saint or a sinner? Is she a duplicitous lover or a woman who has been unjustly punished? Played out in a series of conversations between Rebecca, Sibyl Jardine, Jardines granddaughter Maisie, and a Cockney maid named Tilly, The Ballad and the Source is a tale of perception and memory, passion and betrayal, and the fearsome power of a mothers love. I cannot doubt that this is Miss Lehmanns best and most permanent book. -Raymond Mortimer An exciting adventure in fiction. Unconventional in structure, in characterisation and development of story . . . Unforgettable. -New York Herald Tribune Rosamond Lehmann (1901-1990) was born on the day of Queen Victorias 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.
