Vanessa and Her Sister by Priya Parmar
4.0

Thoroughly enjoyed this fictional account of Vanessa Bell and her sister Virginia Woolf. The book is narrated through diary entries and letters which I felt worked very well, especially as the Bloomsbury group were all prolific writers and there is a lot of source material to use. I felt that the author created characters incredibly well around these real life artists and writers. I would love to read more from her centred on this group. I'll be going away to read some non-fiction on the central characters and find out more about Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf.
