The weather in the streets

Book • 1936
The Weather in the Streets is Rosamond Lehmann’s novel that continues to explore complex adult relationships, moral ambiguity, and the emotional fallout of romantic entanglements.

Known for its psychological depth and elegiac tone, the book offers a more somber counterpoint to Lehmann’s earlier, lighter works.

It examines how social pressures and personal choices intersect, often with painful consequences for the characters involved.

Lehmann’s nuanced prose illuminates the interior lives of her protagonists and the social worlds they inhabit.

The novel is regarded as an important mid-20th-century study of desire, regret, and the costs of emotional compromise.
