	Rose Tremain
		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.

	ZA@Play - Books: The rest is silence 15/02/00 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Tremain's central character, Peter Claire, is a lutenist, and the lute embodies precisely this symbiotic intermingling, for the sound of a plucked string begins rapidly to fade as soon as it is sounded: the music is filled with a thousand tiny deaths.
		On the other hand, this superb novel, humming with music real and imagined, literal and figurative, knows very well the limits of the application of musical aesthetics to life: one character is determined that her love affair "cannot end like this in a slow fading to silence".
		As if to emphasise such formal incommensurabilities, Tremain gives us a wonderful sub-plot, one of many parables with which this story teems, involving a man who one night awakes from a beautiful dream of music and goes slowly mad trying to reproduce the phantom song on his keyboard.

		With a steady eye, Tremain describes the harsh circumstances of Mary's early life and her disconnection from her body and surroundings.
		Tremain has a remarkable ability to create characters of shining, honest goodness--people capable of extraordinary decency, generosity and love.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Colour: Books: Rose Tremain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Rose Tremain has long been one of the most vigorous and imaginative of novelists; her sweeping narratives (set against the most vividly realised of canvases) have made her books as dramatic and assured as anything being written today.
		Tremain's protagonists are Harriet and Joseph Baxter, who (along with Joseph's mother) leave England for the promise of the new world that New Zealand represents.
		The writing is subtle and measured: I get the feeling that the author chooses each word with great care, and her selections are invariably right, as we both explore the psyche of people living on the edge and enjoy a rollicking good tale of gold and greed and hope.

		Rose Tremain has used the New Zealand gold rush of the 1860s, 18th-century France and the Danish Court of King Christian as backdrops to some of her distinguished, prize-winning novels.
		Her story, ultimately, is her own, and the voice Tremain gives her is poignant in its derangement and sharp in its indignation.
		Tremain is restless in her exploration of voices.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Rose Tremain
		In her recent novels, Tremain’s pessimism has eased, and she allows for the possibility of happy relationships and even moments of transcendent otherworldly knowledge.
		Born Rose Thomson in 1943, Tremain’s parents separated when she was 10, and she was estranged from her father, a minor playwright.
		Tremain attempts some uplift at the conclusion, but the result is instead ambivalence.

	Amazon.co.uk: Music & Silence: Books: Rose Tremain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Rose Tremain deserves a Hallelujah chorus dedicated just to her: a decade after the appearance of Restoration--and with a range of stunning novels and short story collections before and after it--now comes her glorious and enthralling Music and Silence.
		Tremain is looking to Corelli, Scarlatti and Couperin for her inspiration, with a brief sidebar or two to Marquez.
		However, the narrative never really drifts far afield, and Tremain remains firmly in control, presenting us with a composition that is at once baroque in terms of its spiraling dimensions, and modern in terms of its strange cadences and even its occasional dissonance.

		It was during a journey from Copenhagen to Elsinore in 1991 that Tremain began to think that there might be a story in the history of Christian IV's court.
		Her 1989 Restoration, which was short-listed for the Booker Prize that year, told the story of the rise, fall and rise again of a courtier in 17th century England and established her reputation in the forefront of British writers.
		For Tremain, the connecting thread among her novels is the idea of exclusion.

		Rose Tremain has written numerous plays for radio and television as well as many novels.
		Tremain develops Merivel's personal transformation with sensitivity, finesse, and much ironic humor, and when, at last, he is noticed again by the court, his understanding of himself and his role in the world is far more profound than it was before.
		I'd never read any of Rose Tremain's work before and this title was given to me as a highly recommended 'must read' book.

		Tremain made the passive Merivel lovable by emphasizing his failures and his appetites.
		She is better than usual but still not very good in the midst of some extensive third-act troubles and a martyr's demise.
		Hugh Grant is amusing as a nasty artist (Tremain's joke was that Merivel, as an amateur painter, had discovered impressionism centuries too early).

		If you think Rose Tremain's "Sacred Country" is anything like Virginia Woolf's "Orlando", you're wrong because Mary Ward didn't take centuries and successive reincarnations to morph into Martin.
		Tremain's book is a moving portrait of what it means to be unsure of yourself and the price you pay for being different.
		It works as a whole, in that the main and supporting characters are very fully-fleshed and we have the chance to really like and understand them.

	Amanda Craig - Journalism
		The characteristic of a Rose Tremain novel is obsession.
		Yet nothing in Tremain’s world is simple, and here the alchemy of her imagination has turned gold into something more precious.
		It would be possible to spend the whole review recounting Tremain’s plot, for she is such a magical story-teller that I can think of no reader, man, woman or child, who would not be captivated by it.

	Rose Tremain - "Restoration" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		I believe Rose Tremain was showing that whatever age we live in, we are all plagued by desires and these are generally the same whatever century it is - money, power, vanity - and all of us fight a daily war against ourselves to overcome these desires.
		As I previously stated, Tremain's work is a commentary on our own times, times not unlike the Restoration wherein, as Charles II describes at the novel's end, "Even in an age in which we wisely practice the excellent art of oblivion, certain things remain".
		However much we pretend certain things do not exist we have to accept that situations such as poverty and disease are very much a part of our society and turning a blind eye to them will not rectify the situation or make them go away.

	Crescent Blues Book Views \| Rose Tremain: Music & Silence
		Themes of hope and despair, the sacred and the profane, sin and redemption run through the intertwining plot lines, as each character seeks a companion, serenity or a glimpse of the divine.
		A feminist reading of Tremain's novel would characterize these women as heroines, but Tremain is not so heavy handed.
		Tremain's language flows throughout the multiple narrative styles employed to describe different characters' experiences.

	Bookreporter.com - THE COLOUR by Rose Tremain
		The title of Rose Tremain's new novel refers to the glint of gold.
		Set during the 1860s gold rush in New Zealand, every character in the book is somehow touched by the crazed hunt for gold that eclipses all other possible occupations as the land is overrun by desperate miners and those who cater to them.
		But ambition can be a complex compulsion and Rose Tremain deftly explores what makes these people happy, what they really want, and what they will do to fulfill their dreams.

	Bibliofemme: The Colour by Rose Tremain
		There's a truly wonderful sense of place about Tremain's descriptions of the Southern Alps and the harsh Christchurch winters and she also manages to depict the pure hardship and filth of the gold rush in tangible detail.
		Tremain exhibits real genius in some of her descriptions and this book evokes a sense of 'place' like no other.
		With Tremain's great talent with description, I found I was able to shrug off her weak characters and just enjoy being elsewhere.

		Like fairy tales, Tremain's stories are filled with motherless children and childless mothers.
		The title story is a beautiful example of how this fairy-tale language works within the newspaper-real context of a story that we think we know.
		In Tremain's version, Wallis Simpson is dying in a room in Paris, tended by a sadistic lawyer who beats and cajoles her into remembering her place in history.
