Absolutely and Forever by Rose Tremain (Chatto & Windus, 2024)
Fiction
With Rose Tremain’s Absolutely and Forever (ISBN: 9781784745202) we have the first-love story of teenagers Marianne Clifford and Simon Hurst, as they start out in life, still under the influence of their families, and of course subject to the vagaries of fate. Set in Chelsea and Paris, in the 1960s, it has all the brilliancy of Tremain’s emotionally deft writing.
