KIRKUS REVIEW. Tim Ingram has none of the bravura of Patrick Pennington; his rebellion begins quietly with a visit from a ghost -- one Tom Inskip who died at the age of fifteen in 1910 and left behind nothing but a packet of amateurish sketches in the old house now occupied by Tim's London family.

A Pattern of Roses struck me as old fashioned, and, at first, I couldn't determine why. The plot wasn't saccharine; the language wasn't stilted; the teenagers involved weren't Pollyanish or unrealistically well-behaved.

Jan 1, 1973 · A Pattern of Roses arouses more suspense than this synopsis would indicate; Tom's warning tinges the novel with a sense of foreboding. But it's not really a ghost story. Nor is it strictly a coming-of-age tale, although Tim grows up quite a bit. Nor is it really a romance, even though Tom falls utterly in love.

Review by StuartDouglas ★★★ 3 Hampered by a lead actor who's a bit of vacuum, and some uncharacteristically flat directing from Lawrence Gordon Clark, this slip-in-time story is saved by some really top notch performances from the rest of the cast, especially the ever dependable Suzanna Hamilton and Helena Bonham-Carter in her first role.
