wrote seven novels and a short story collection, translated two French works
into English, and authored some nonfiction, including an autobiography.
Her only play, No More Music, opened in 1939. Her novels The
Weather in the Streets (1936) and The Echoing Grove (1953) were made
into movies, the latter re-titled Heart of Me (2002). Lehmann was a
member of the "Bloomsbury set," which included literature luminaries such
as Virginia Woolf and Lytton Strachey. She was honored as a CBE in 1982.
Lehmann had a long and tempestuous affair with C. Day Lewis from 1941 to 1950,
when Lewis fell for, and married actress Jill Balcon. (Lewis and Balcon were the
