All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West

4.0

A great book. The first one of Vita's I've read, and a great companion to Virginia's 'A Room of One's Own'. It explores many of the themes of Virginia's work but from a fictional perspective. The character of Lady Sloane who has lived her life for her husband and only recaptures her true self in her twilight years after he has passed. The book itself espouses the values of Bloomsbury, but Vita has her own very funny voice, creating great larger than life characters. Well worth a read.
