Read through all quotes from Ruth Rendell
D. Many of her other works have been adapted for film and television. In 1998 Rendell was named in a list of the biggest private financial donors to the Labour Party.
King Solomon's Carpet A Fatal Inversion and Asta's Book (alternative US title Anna's Book) among others inhabit the same territory as her psychological crime novels while further developing themes of human misunderstandings and the unintended consequences of family secrets and hidden crimes. Rendell is famous for her elegant prose and sharp insights into the human mind as well as her ability to create cogent plots and characters. Rendell created a third strand of writing with the publication in 1986 of A Dark-Adapted Eye under her pseudonym Barbara Vine (the name derives from her own middle name and her grandmother's maiden name).
