Her most recent novel is Lily, a Richard and Judy Book Club selection. Rose Tremain was made a CBE in 2007 and a Dame in 2020. She lives in Norfolk and London with the biographer, Richard Holmes.
This is a perfect novel about life's imperfection... Tremain is
writing at the height of her inimitable powers... Remarkable and
moving novel.
*Observer*
The Gustav Sonata is a magnificent novel, heartbreaking,
unsentimental and beautifully written, and it reinforces my opinion
that there are few writers out there with the dexterity or
emotional intelligence to rival that of the great Rose Tremain.
*The Irish Times*
Beautifully tender and brilliantly written novel... A tale of the
most powerful part of any friendship: love. *****
*Stylist*
In The Gustav Sonata, Tremain once again proves herself to be a
writer of exceptional talent ... Previous novels like The Road Home
have already showcased her staggering sensitivity and capacity for
empathy but they're here again, magnificently undiminished. Tremain
is a writer who understands every emotion ... and it's ultimately
this understanding that has produced another exquisite book
*i*
Tremain has the painterly genius of an Old Master, and she uses it
to stunning effect... Glorious.
*The Times*
