A wholly original exploration of the life of one of the 20th century’s most influential authors, this graphic novel reproduces events from the life of Virginia Woolf in delicate, evocative illustrations. Without ignoring the difficult circumstances that shook the life of the young Woolf and left her with a melancholic and nostalgic streak, the authors seek to portray the lively, happy girl who enjoyed holidays in Talland House, her family’s summer home on the Cornish coast; the sharp-tongued adolescent who caustically and humorously critiqued her contemporaries; and the sophisticated and intelligent woman who demanded feminine independence. In short, this is a vivid portrait of a woman in full, of an individual who, while given to depressive tendencies, nevertheless had an undeniable vitality. This book is sure to appeal to fans of the great modernist writer.
