Assessment Of Books Dusty Answer

Like reading a dream. Beautiful and bitchy and disillusioning, perfect wish-fulfilment slipping out of the hands to become broken dreams. Lovely dazzling prose.It grips all the way through: and yet I feel not a twinge over Judith's missteps and coming to grief. Probably because she is, in fact, a bit of a cunt.

This is Lehmann's first novel, from 1927. I didn't realize it is her most famous, a "succès de scandale" for its "sensitive treatment of homosexuality" (in 1970s jacket copy, the "treatment" is always either "sensitive" or "frank").Judith, an intelligent only child of well-to-do but emotionally distant parents, educated at home, becomes infatuated with the neighboring children, who are siblings and cousins all living with one grandmother (for a variety of reasons - they are not orphaned). She

There is some books, stories or even characters that you put in the corner of your mind, in the corner of your heart and they follow your everywhere you go. Judith and Roddy follow me everywhere. Rosamond Lehmann isn't well-known here (not for the common readers at least) and I discovered the book thanks to "Atonement" by Ian McEwan (who mentions the book in the novel when a journalist compares Briony's story to "Dusty Answer").

Very influenced by the Bloomsbury modernists in style, this novel has a dreamlike, though relentlessly bleak quality. I much preferred Invitation to the Waltz.

I loved this book of young love.Judith Earle has always been in love with each of her four cousins.Summers spent playing outside in the countryside.All will change when Judith goes to Cambridge college and meets Jennifer!A coming of age novel where one learns who to love and trust.It's hard to believe this was Rosamond's first novel.I will be looking out for more of her wonderful books.

Memory is a strange thing. I read this book once perhaps fifteen years ago, more or less, and in my memory Judith's childhood & her fascination with her neighbours during it was the bulk of the book, and the time at Cambridge just a little piece at the end. Reading it again now, I find that is not how it is structured at all; perhaps the first third is the flashback to her childhood, and then a very long part at Cambridge, and then another section afterwards. And of course, as I am older, I

My first book of Rosamond Lehmann's: it's touching, elegant, and beautifully stylised. I worry I will now need to read all her others; woe.
