One of the better, most thorough biographies I've read anywhere. The prose is easy to digest, provides detailed events that stack up well against Woolf's own journal entries and provide great insight into Bloomsbury along with many of Woolf's own characters who have their inspiration in the Stephen family. Not only captured the life of Virginia but provides insight into the upper middle class, and the intellectual and artistic circles of England over a 40 year period. ( )

Gracias a su especial vinculación con Virginia y a la ayuda de documentos valiosos y hasta entonces inéditos, Quentin Bell pudo dibujar un retrato único de la autora, donde la ironía e incluso el humor se codean a gusto con el rigor histórico.

IB-6

I don't like Ms. Woolf any better knowing her history, but maybe I will be able to better understand her writings. On the other hand, however, Leonard Woolf was a saint! ( )

I had to DNF this book, it was very dry and boring. ( )
