Memoirs of a Novelist

From Victorian England to fifteenth-century Norfolk, and pre-War London to Mount Pentelicus, Virginia Woolf offers a series of impressions of women finding their place in the world around them. At once exquisitely drawn and brilliantly haunting, these snapshots of life are a remarkable testament to the narrative powers of one of Britain's best-loved novelists, and an insight into some of her perennial interests - namely her fascination with the role of the biographer, the literature of Greece and the utter loneliness of early twentieth-century London.
