Virginia Woolf. Nigel Nicolson. 2001.

Virginia Woolf was undoubtedly one of the literary giants of the twentieth crntury. She was a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, and her writings were works of astonishing originality.

Nigel Nicolson is the son of Vita Sackville-West, who was Virginia Woolf’s most intimate friend, and for a short time her lover. He spent many days in her company and he has threaded his recollections of her throughout this unique narrative of her life. This is an affectionate, but not uncritical, portrait of one of the most remarkable women of her age.
