Описание: Rosamond Lehmanns only autobiographical work recreates the events that shaped her life-from childhood to motherhood to the death of her daughter Rosamond Lehmann was born during a violent February thunderstorm and lived a sheltered, privileged life with her parents, brother, and sisters. Writing from the distance of decades, she reveals why no adult would ever apologize to a child, shares thoughts on her first conscious memory, and discusses the taboo subjects of birth, death, physical and sexual functions. Later, she recounts the tragedy that rocked her world as a mother. A blackbird with a broken neck appears as a harbinger of doom: A few hours after finding the bird, Lehmann receives a phone call from her son telling her that her twenty-four-year-old daughter, Sally, is dead. Wracked with grief and desperate for answers, Lehmann, a non-believer, finds solace in spiritualism. Beginning with an examination of Lehmanns singular childhood featuring cherished friends and pets, and concluding with an extraordinary letter to her granddaughter Anna, TheSwan in the Evening is about the search for peace and acceptance-and finding hope in the face of unbearable loss. Full of her sensibility, her funniness, her own peculiar acumen. -Elizabeth Jane Howard A model of selection and compression . . . Combines something of the earthiness of Colette with the imaginative insight of Virginia Woolf. -Cyril Connolly Beautifully recalled . . . Deeply personal. An extraordinary piece of writing. -Fleur in Her World 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.
