Not even Rose's closest friends knew that she had a secret lover for more than 20 years. It was only after meeting him at the end of the 1914-18 war that she began to write best-selling novels. Up to that time she had been writing efficiently but without the spark of brilliance and sense of humour and satire which her lover inspired.
LORD ANNAN, MARK BONHAM CARTER , C- v. WEDGWOOD and many others recall Rose Macaulay , author, critic and satirist.
