Adeline: A Novel of Virginia Woolf by Norah Vincent

4.0

This book was difficult for me. I wanted to love it because I relate so heavily to Virginia Woolf. This did a great job of dissecting the shadowy place that many creatives tend to live. There were many stand out lines. I enjoyed the joyed of other writers that were casually slipped in. But something just was not right for me. I had the most difficult time finishing this. I think there was too often no story propulsion, resulting in large gaps of scene and unnecessary dialogue to cover it. The best thing that came from this was that it made me want to read Woolf again, since it had been over a decade.
