Her immersion in her research led to Rose intruding in her dreams, and fantastical imaginings of what Rose would say or do, at each fork in the road. \u003ci\u003eDreaming of Rose\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable record of the art of biography, and the search for another woman's life. Research trips to Varazze in Italy to look for Rose's childhood, and to Trabzon in Turkey to find traces of Rose's most fampous novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Towers of Trebizond\u003c\/i\u003e, were remarkably intuitive ventures that found treasures in unexpected places. \u003ci\u003eDreaming of Rose\u003c\/i\u003e is also a memoir of a woman juggling the demands of teaching, research and writing while patching together a living. LeFanu's work on Rose was squeezed in between many other commitments and responsibilities: she wrote for the BBC and taught creative writing and English literature. Suffused with the tensions and dramas of everyday life, and the necessity for intellectual integrity, this is an important memoir of women and writing.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Handheld Classics","offers":[{"title":"Dreaming of Rose | Sarah LeFanu | Paperback | 9781912766529 | New | Memoir 1658435","offer_id":48164902469784,"sku":"1658435","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71KUcm5v8AL.jpg?v=1771906598","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/dreaming-of-rose","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
