Rose Tremain recommends

The Three Graces (2023)
Amanda Craig
"I love Amanda Craig's work, always supercharged with bright colouration and passionate feeling. And her imagination seems boundless: a defiant, bubbling wellspring of free-wheeling enquiry in a literary landscape made more and more arid and monotonous."

Love Without End (2019)
Melvyn Bragg
"Melvyn Bragg brings a fascinated attention to the moral complexities of a love story we all thought we knew, but perhaps did not understand well enough. His compassion for Abelard and Heloise makes brilliantly real and present to us their anguished journey from erotic excess towards the mystical sublime."

Who Was That Lady? (2014)
(Who Was That Lady?)
Carey Harrison
"A fine achievement, a big-hearted book that will linger in my mind."
