Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-25 00:00:00 Andy Dun I really tried, but I just no longer care at all. This book is well researched, & it's not wholly uninteresting, but the delivery is where I feel it failed me. Other readers liked this, but I can not get over the tedium of plodding through the thing. Dnf p. 170, but to be fair, I started skimming & skipping over sections some time before that in the hopes it would pick up.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-05-25 00:00:00 Beverly Hartman This is a masterful account of the final ten years in the life of Virginia Woolf. The scholarship is impeccable; the insights into the life and work of Mrs. Woolf are quietly profound and deeply informative. Considering the mass of the exegetic work relating to Mrs. Woolf and her work, this book is a most welcome addition and a very worthy reading experience.
