Dusty Answer Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Ugh. I like a lot of English literature from the interwar period, but I really hated this book. The narrator was a total twit. "

" What I liked most about this book was the insight into the characters. Also, strong female characters for the time it was written. Stayed in my mind for a long time afterwards. "

" Dusty Answer, Rosamond Lehmann's first novel, was published in 1927. It s impossible to resist this tale of adolescent passion and longing, and of a profound love experience at a Cambridge college, told in a language that is both poetic and candid. "

" One of the most haunting and beautiful depictions of innocent yet forbidden longing that I've ever read. "

" Oh this started so well and then collapsed into a morass of sentimentality and over-description! Two and a half stars - it was a first novel... "

" A writer in the tradition of Elizabeth Bowen and Elizabeth von Arnim. Wish I had discovered her during my college days .. I would have appreciated the book more... "

" Gorgeously written, wistful and melancholy. "

" Really fascinating especially if you're interested in early 20th century British lit. So many allusions made sense after I finished this book. "
