BuyA powerful love story, Stillriver, is also a novel about family relationships and the tensions of life in a small close-knit community.
BuyA sparkling story of literary skullduggery, set amidst the ancient spires and verdant quads of Oxford. Two high-spirited American students watch as an obsessive colleague pursues a lethal vendetta against a visiting American Professor of History. A crackling adventure – part comic romp, part novel of manners, and completely enchanting.
"Rosenheim weaves the strands of the narrative together with a skill that makes it seem effortless ... a voice like that seems capable of great comic invention -- something approximating the savagery of Evelyn Waugh, the inspired silliness of P.G. Wodehouse" -- The New York Times Book Review
