''Rosemary is an outstanding creation''
Sunday Telegraph

''Bragg writes with a timelessness''
Financial Times

Half-French and with an agile, inquiring mind, Rosemary Lewis cannot help being out of the ordinary in Thurston, the Cumbrian market town where she grows up between the wars. An early, bruising failure in love drives her inwards to the solace of books until she meets Edgar - vigorous, down to earth and determined to win her. Charting their life together, this powerful novel probes with exceptional acuity the heights and tortured depths of a bond that becomes a shackle.

Industry Reviews

A strong and solid novel, with a totally convincing figure, at once fallible and admirable, at its centre - Sunday Telegraph

Distinguished by passages of prose which have precisely the sort of leaping life that Lawrence held up before himself as an ideal all through his career ... Melvyn Bragg has already a considerable body of work behind him. THE SILKEN NET is his best book yet - Guardian

Most attractive of all is this book's open-heartedness, its serious intention and a certain ingenuousness in the way it treats its themes - The Sunday Times

Melvyn Bragg writes with a timelessness that suits his heroine and his theme, that is in tune with the whole story - Financial Times

Words could be used linking Melvyn Bragg with Hardy, Lawrence and Bennett in the Grand Chain: that he belongs there is indisputable - New Statesman
