«Swan in the Evening: Fragments of an Inner Life» is the autobiography of Rosamond Lehmann, published by Virago in paperback (176 pages, in English).
Rosamond Lehmann's only autobiographical work: it evokes her childhood and the experiences that shaped her, recounts the life of her daughter Sally and her death at twenty-four, and describes the psychic and mystical experiences that followed that loss. Through a letter to her granddaughter, Lehmann conveys a message of hope and consolation.
Originally published in 1967, this revised edition includes a new epilogue by the author and belongs to the Virago Modern Classics series.
For readers of literary memoirs and twentieth-century British literature, interested in biographies of women writers and in accounts of grief and spirituality.
Rosamond Nina Lehmann was an English novelist and translator. Her first novel, Dusty Answer (1927), was a succès de scandale; she subsequently became established in the literary world, and intimate with members of the Bloomsbury set.
