Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group come to life in this novel as told by her older sister, the artist Vanessa Bell. It is told mainly through journal entries and supplemented by the viewpoints of others through letters and telegrams. It is a captivating look into the fragile mind of Woolf and the eccentricities and loyalties of the Bloomsbury Group. Historical fiction is an interesting method of presenting the complexities of people since the reader is never certain what is fact and what is fiction; however, this novel seems very well researched and makes me want to read more about the characters and their works, especially Virginia Woolf. I am grateful to LibraryThing for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
