Delve into a legendary literary love affair 'I am reduced to a
thing that wants Virginia. I composed a beautiful letter to you in
the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone. I
just miss you...' At a dinner party in 1922, Virginia Woolf met the
renowned author, aristocrat - and sapphist - Vita Sackville-West.
Virginia wrote in her diary that she didn't think much of Vita's
conversation, but she did think very highly of her legs. It was to
be the start of almost twenty years of flirtation, friendship, and
literary collaboration. Their correspondence ended only with
Virginia's death in 1941. Intimate and playful, these selected
letters and diary entries allow us to hear these women's constantly
changing feelings for each other in their own words. Eavesdrop on
the affair that inspired Virginia to write her most fantastical
novel, Orlando, and discover a relationship that - even a hundred
years later - feels radical and relatable. WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION
FROM ALISON BECHDEL, AUTHOR OF FUN HOME AND CREATOR OF THE BECHDEL
TEST.
