"Orlando has been published. I went to Burgundy with Vita. We did not find each other out." 27 October 1928
"Because, my dear Vita, what's the use of saying 'once Virginia' when I'm alive and here now?" 25 November 1937
(4.5 if only for the incessant cutting of the letters)

This book was completely beautiful and inspiring. These letters are charming, funny, lovely relics of both a deep romantic love, and a wonderful friendship that was full of the utmost respect. Reading these letters and diary entries felt just like reading a novel. Everything was written so beautifully and filled with the most vivid imagery. Not only are they heartfelt memories of two lovers, but also fascinating, purely as artifacts of history, and will be especially of interest to writers and/or readers of the works of Woolf and Sackville-West. These letters are filled with the back-stories and the writing processes of these two artist's most famous works.
It feels like I have gotten to know Woolf and Sackville-West so personally, that I have started to consider them old friends of mine. I feel that now, as I continue to make my way through their works, they will be all the more special to me.
Though I knew how this story would come to an end, I was wishing hopelessly that Virginia would not die. I cried at the end. It was utterly devastating. I didn't expect this little book to tear my heart to pieces. (But of course, I mean that in the best possible way.)
