Vita S and Virginia Woolf began an affair in the mid20s that inspired Woolf‘s novel Orlando. The above letter was from Vita to Virginia, and a portrait of Vita Sackville-West, 1918.

#celebritylove #sizzlinsummerbooks Look at us Littens, posting old writers as celebrities! Though Bloomsbury was quite celebrated.I was lucky enough to be in New York one winter (?) and saw the play "Vita and Virginia " by Eileen Atkins at the Cherry Lane Theatre, amazing!I hear there is a film in production.
About the relationships? Let's just say ,it's complicated!?

batsy I would love to read her letters, The Edwardians is one of my favs. 7y
