Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-24 00:00:00 Donald Streutker only for the aficionado. In these 10 y VW is married to Leonard, the Hogarth Press gets going, they buy and inhabit Monk's House. Mostly same correspondents - most interesting are letters to Vanessa. Comments on James and Proust. Vita enters with the penultimate letter of Vol Two.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-10-07 00:00:00 William Wright Very enjoyable, strangely in some ways more revealing than the diary - certainly throws fresh light on relationships with friends and acquaintances. This volume takes us as far as the publication of "Jacob's room" and being settled at Monk's House. There is almost nothing about the writing of her novels in the letters, apart from one long letter at the end of the volume. She could obviously compartmentalise her activities in her correspondence.
