Synopsis
The lives of Virginia Woolf and her sister, Vanessa Bell embodied opposites of human nature. The former was dedicated to the life of the mind and imagination, the latter to sensuous and sensual experience. This book shows how the two sisters developed and enriched each other's lives. The two sisters' childhood was blighted by tragedy and trauma and their early lives were subject to the frustrations that were common to the women of Victorian and Edwardian England. Dunn argues that their subsequent successes as writer and artist owed much to this mutual enrichment. Jane Dunn is also the author of "Moon in Eclipse: A Life of Mary Shelley".

Review
An outstanding work, and reading it is a source of real pleasure ... one of the best books on Virginia Woolf to date (LITERARY REVIEW)
Her unlayering of this complex relationship is subtle and far-reaching ...The wealth of the material makes possible some of the brilliant equations to be found in this book (SUNDAY TIMES)
Dunn plunges deep beneath the surface to the complicated emotions and personalities of these two women, illuminating them with great clarity and understanding. (OBSERVER)
Jane Dunn's astute account of their relationship is a revealing pleasure. (INDEPENDENT)
Book Description
* A moving and important book on the relationship between two remarkable sisters who jointly created the Bloomsbury Group
* 'It is almost too true and too moving to be read by a close relation' Quentin Bell
