Rose Tremain still writing at 83. Respect! But she is mourning the passing of her ‘old guard’ www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s... #RoseTremain #Author #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #BlueSky #BookSky #WritingAndBooks #Novelists

“She laughed at my pain.”

As a longtime admirer of Daphne du Maurier’s work, it was hard to read this manipulative version of her, but I appreciate the creative liberty of fictionalizing how one of her most memorable characters came to be.

Absolutely & Forever by #RoseTremain #review

Tremaine writes her protagonist in a manner that gives no reader the chance not to care. #TheRoadHome #RoseTremain #WomensPrize #BookChat #booksky

Tremain never lets her protagonist plummet in free fall. It's a shame. At times, it gets too safe. I think our guy would've benefited from being dropped in the deep end. #TheRoadHome #RoseTremain #WomensPrize #BookChat #booksky

Rose Tremain – Absolutely & Forever (2023). Brilliant novel set in England in the 1960s and 1970s. Marianne is torn between exotic Simon, who she loves, and dull, reliable Hugo, who loves her. A sophisticated study of relationships and family, written with empathy and subtle wit. #RoseTremain

The total lack of sentimentality amongst all that loss I deceiving. #TheRoadHome #RoseTremain #WomensPrize #BookChat #booksky

(Audio) book 38 of 2025 #TheGustavSonata by #RoseTremain. Multiple love stories. #PaulGrüninger a Swiss police officer who saved thousands of Jewish lives during the the Holocaust. Intesting to think of #Davos as a place to go for TB treatment rather than the famous #WEF meeting! #BookSky

Just been to #WimbledonBookFest to hear #RoseTremain talk about her writing. She's 80!!! but looks 60. Absolutely riveting.
