Such a command of fictional techniques reminds us that Rose Tremain for many years taught on the famed Creative Writing M.A. course at the University of East Anglia. Among those she beneficently tutored have been some leading novelists of the future, including Kazuo Ishiguru and Andrew Miller. Her own student days were at the Sorbonne in Paris, which may account for the significant Francophile invocations of places, landscapes, and especially the French food-and-drink culture. These appear, for instance, in an early short story ‘My Wife is a White Russian’ ( Granta magazine, ‘Best of Young British Novelists’, 1983) and the Paris-based adventure The Way I Found Her (1997), about an adolescent boy’s attachment to a famous author who has disapppeared. France is also the setting of the psychological thriller Trespass (2010), though its rural scenes are far darker and more unsettling, as is its view of human nature.

Music & Silence (1999) is a very different kind of historical novel; though also featuring charged encounters between royals and commoners it is darker and more poetic. This is 1629-30 in Denmark at the court of King Christian IV. His superstitious fears and ailments can be soothed only by the playing of English lute player Peter Claire, whom he comes to regard as a protecting angel. Claire himself is worldlier, ardently pursuing servant girl Emilia under the eyes of scheming Queen Kirsten – who has a secret lover of her own. Told from various viewpoints, the book exemplifies what Tremain has called her ‘Law of Historical Fiction’: using a basis of research, an understanding of the mentality of the era, but still allowing the writer certain liberties of invention. Thus, alongside authentic-seeming details of events and customs there are elements of magic and wonder, romance and lust, and a demonstration of the powers of music to charm and seduce.
