About the Author:
Rebecca West (1892–1983) was a novelist, biographer, journalist, and critic. She published eight novels in addition to her masterpiece Black Lamb and Grey Falcon, for which she made several trips to the Balkans. Following World War II, West also published two books on the relation of the individual to the state, called The Meaning of Treason and A Train of Powder.
From Library Journal:
These previously unpublished chapters complete the trilogy begun in The Fountain Overflows and continued in the posthumous This Real Night ( LJ 3/1/85). Rose Aubrey picks up her tale in the 1920s, after the deaths of her mother and brother. Though still troubled in spirit, Rose and her sister Mary are at last secure financially as established concert pianists. Sought after by society, they prefer clinging to those they have loved since childhood. They are shaken by the loss of their cherished cousin Rosamund, who leaves England after her inexplicable marriage to a rich vulgarian. Rose comes close to breaking down but is restored by unexpected romance and a happy marriage. West's impressive style once again makes up for the overall unfinished quality of the narrative, and readers intrigued by the earlier volumes will not want to miss this one, nor West's synopsis of the entire Aubrey saga, reprinted in the afterword.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Fine. Proof Copy. COUSIN ROSAMUND. Rebecca West. Macmillan Publishing, London. 1985 Publisher's Uncorrected Proof Copy ISBN 0333397975 296pp Proof Copy. This copy is in fine, unread condition bound in cream card covers with red titling to the front and the spine. The text block is bright, white, tight and square. A lovely copy of a rare uncorrected publisher's proof copy. The final book in Rebecca West's 'Saga of a Century', proves to be as captivating a read as its predecessors, 'The Fountain Overflows' and 'This Real Night'. Rebecca West's prose is as beautifully wrought, and her characters as vividly drawn and sympathetic as ever, as she continues to explore the relationship of the Aubrey sisters, Rose and Mary, towards each other, to the world of art and music and to their colourful extended family. Much of the novel is concerned with Rose's fraught acceptance of the world of sex and sexuality, exacerbated by the inexplicable marriage of her cousin Rosamund, formerly the Aubrey sisters' spiritual and moral touchstone, to a man they find both morally and physically repugnant. This seeming reversal of Rosamund's values plunges Rose, particularly, into a spiritual crisis that takes most of the novel to resolve. Victoria Glendinning, Rebecca West's biographer, provides an afterword. Ref Z5. Seller Inventory # 010523
