Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-04 00:00:00 Lou Austin These letters include some quite sharp ones to Ethel Smyth - I found some of them a bit disturbing somehow. It is interesting to note the differences in letters describing the same events to different people, which is the point of the title given to this volume, I presume. There is a very amusing account of a visit by T. S. Eliot and his wife, and, as always, many little asides which fill in the picture of cultural life in London and the attractions of country life in Sussex.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-03-15 00:00:00 Eric Castellani I wish more people were aware of how witty and exuberant Virginia Woolf could be, rather than how often people focus on her death. Reading her letters invokes such an array of emotions in me - some of them are so genuinely funny I laugh out loud, and a few lines later she manages to say something so incredibly eloquent and profound she has me crying. And it's something so simple but this line, considering all we know about her, touched me so deeply. "This is life: and I adore it."
