Simply a collection of letters to Leonard Woolf on the death of his wife. The book is edited into five sections. The first from Virginia's friends including Vita Sackville-West. The second section from mutual friends including members of the Bloomsbury Group and neighbors. The Third section from Leonard’s friends. The forth from the general public and the final section from Vanessa Bell's (Virginia's sister) circle of friends.

It is quite a collection and maybe for some a difficult subject to read about, but shows the wide reaching appeal of Virginia Woolf and the affect of her writing and works.

No stars because it is not a work of fiction or researched non-fiction and its small audience, but a must read for fans of Virginia Woolf
