Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

First published in 1953, The Echoing Grove is one of Rosamond Lehmann's most acclaimed novels, and tells of three characters, Rickie Masters, his wife Madeleine, and her sister Dinah. Rickie's premature death leaves the two sisters in uneasy communion, for his death has made widows of them both. For many years, Dinah, exotic and sensual, has conducted a clandestine affair with Rickie; and Madeleine, calm and resolute, has accepted that her marriage has been of limited success.With extraordinary insight, Lehmann explores the sublimity and the pain of these fatally interrelated lives in her magnifient novel.

Synopsis:

Two sisters: Madeleine and Dinah. One husband: Rickie Masters. For many years now, Dinah, exotic and sensual, has conducted a clandestine affair with Rickie; Madeleine, clam and resolute, has accepted that her marriage has been of limited success. Rickie's sudden death makes widows of both sisters in a novel that explores with extraordinary insight the sublimity, rivalry, and pain of personal relationships. Rosamond Lehmann (1901-1990) was a Cambridge scholar; among her novels are the best-selling Dusty Answer, A Note in Music, Invitation to the Waltz, and its sequel, The Weather in the Streets. She remains one of the most distinguished novelists of the 20th century.
