'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.
