Lehmann has always written brilliantly of women in love, of mothers, of daughters, of suffering
Margaret Drabble
Every emotional ripple is beautifully observed: the hideous anticipation, the agony of the empty dance card, the brief flutters of hope as various men take her for a turn around the dance floor, the many small disappointments that follow and the sudden vivid need to escape from the crowd, to flee, to breathe
Guardian
A novelist in the grand tradition, and, more than this, an innovator, the first writer to filter her stories through a woman's feelings and perceptions
Anita Brookner
Lehmann legitimised a type of writing that took on deep personal themes
