Review # 2 was written on 2020-10-16 00:00:00 Kevin Combs This is an absolutely fascinating biography. I hve not reasd any novels by Rosamond Lehman - yet. However I now feel that this biography will have given me a greater understanding of the woman she was. Her life was a tirbulant one. Married twice, and having had several lovers, a couple of whom were several years her junior, she lived a life that exposed her to a lot of heartache. I always love the old photographs in these biography's and this one certainly has some good ones, an I know I spend far too long scrutinizing them, trying to get a handle on people who are long dead. What is equally fascinating are the number of famous names that litter the pages, names such as, Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, Julia Strachey, Stevie Smith and Katherine Mansfield. This is the second Selina Hastings Biography I have read, and I think I should be putting the third on to my wish list now.
