Rosamund is het derde en laatste deel van de Aubrey-trilogie, die vertelt over de excentrieke, intellectuele familie Aubrey.

In de jaren na de Eerste Wereldoorlog reizen Mary en Rose, nu twee beroemde pianisten, door Amerika. Ze verblijven in de meest exclusieve hotels en worden als sterren ontvangen op feesten, waar champagne rijkelijk vloeit en de gasten charmant en bevoorrecht zijn. Maar luxe en succes zijn niet alles, want in deze wereld lijkt niemand echt liefde voor muziek te hebben. De oorlog heeft bij Mary en Rose diepe sporen achtergelaten en ze zijn niet in staat de kloof tussen heden en verleden te overbruggen. Als nicht Rosamund een plotse keuze maakt, moeten ze heroverwegen wat familie en liefde voor hen betekenen.

In Rosamund volgen we hun pijnlijke reis naar emotionele en artistieke volwassenheid.

Cicely Isabel Fairfield, known by her pen name Rebecca West, or Dame Rebecca West, DBE was an English author, journalist, literary critic, and travel writer. She was brought up in Edinburgh, Scotland, where she attended George Watson's Ladies College.

A prolific, protean author who wrote in many genres, West was committed to feminist and liberal principles and was one of the foremost public intellectuals of the twentieth century. She reviewed books for The Times, the New York Herald Tribune, the Sunday Telegraph, and the New Republic, and she was a correspondent for The Bookman. Her major works include Black Lamb and Grey Falcon (1941), on the history and culture of Yugoslavia; A Train of Powder (1955), her coverage of the Nuremberg trials, published originally in The New Yorker; The Meaning of Treason, later The New Meaning of Treason, a study of World War II and Communist traitors; The Return of the Soldier, a modernist World War I novel; and the "Aubrey trilogy" of autobiographical novels, The Fountain Overflows, This Real Night, and Cousin Rosamund. Time called her "indisputably the world's number one woman writer" in 1947. She was made CBE in 1949, and DBE in 1959, in recognition of her outstanding contributions to British letters.
