A Sea-Grape Tree by Rosamond Lehmann
In 1933 we meet Rebecca, heroine of THE BALLAD AND THE SOURCE - but in a different world, on many levels. Betrayed by her married lover, Rebecca arrives alone at a small Caribbean island. Here, along with the splendidly eccentric members of the British expatriate colony, she meets the former ace pilot Johnny, crippled now, a misanthropic recluse: for both of them their passionate affair the powerful life force love can be. Here too she encounters voices from the past and the vibrant spirit of Mrs. Jardine - voices which remind Rebecca of the girl she was and the woman she could become.
Full of her sensibility, her funniness, her own particular acumenIt is also beautifully written and devised * ELIZABETH JANE HOWARD *
Rosamond Lehmann (1901-1990) was born in Buckinghamshire, the second of the
four children of R.C. Lehmann. She was a scholar at Girton College, Cambridge
and one of the most distinguished British novelists of this century.
