Memories Book

An interesting book of memoirs of the author Frances Partridge, her childhood, early life and her entry into the Bloomsbury circle of intellectuals through her marriage to Ralph Partridge, perceptive and honest these accounts are a no holds barred peep hole into the lives of what were considered an elite group of artists and intellectuals of that age.
Scandals, romances, illness, suicide all topics recounted by Frances as she is a keen observer of the lives of others around her including her own experiences.
Interesting and mentions many luminaries of the era and often reads like a novel although in parts Frances adopts the epistolary style for certain areas she relates.
Overall a great read and a good background from someone on the inside of the group to tell it like it really was.
