Rose Tremain (1581 words) |
 | Tremain's trademark is the atmospheric recreation of place and personality; tangible details of lives, whether peasant or aristocrat (and, in most of her other books, the modern middle-classes). |
| Tremain's characters from then onwards typically indulge their sexual weaknesses, but are viewed with a kind of inclusive sympathy: the persistence of love in all its forms is an ongoing theme in her books. |
| Rose Tremain's own student years in France at the Sorbonne are no doubt the origin of her persistent celebration of the French food-and-drink culture, and incidental to a number of her best short stories such as 'My Wife is a White Russian', first published in that 1983 issue of Granta. |
