Kew Gardens | Virginia Woolf
post image
Pickpick

This was a quiet short story told from the viewpoint of a snail. Admittedly, I read it to bump up my “books read“ count for the year. But I enjoyed it. And it makes me to want to pick up another of hers. I've been contemplating a re-read of Mrs. Dalloway. Perhaps now is the time.

📸 I've never been to Kew Gardens but it looks inviting.

I read these for the #192025 challenge, and they were both a quick & delightful way to bang out two years. Mrs Harris and the supporting characters were likeable, though I do think New York was a little less charming than the first. In Paris, we see Mrs Harris really impacting the various lives she encounters, where some of NY was swift mentions of people. Ultimately, I recommend both of you need something light & uplifting these days.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Lighthearted, humorous, endearing, and uplifting, this book was an absolute delight. A perfect escape from today‘s crazy world. I‘m so glad I chose this for the #FictionalTraveler #BigCity prompt this month!

The artist Vanessa Bell is Virginia Woolf‘s sister. This is a companion catalogue to an exhibition running at MK Gallery (Milton Keynes, UK). The first time I saw Vanessa Bell‘s art I was struck by her style and how her art is painting, crafts and interior decorating. I love how this catalogue shows this. I would have liked more depth in the writing but the images of Bell‘s art make up for it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

AnishaInkspill Vanessa Bell: A World of Form and Colour by Fay Blanchard didn't appear, and so I've posted this review as a blurb.

And I have Vanessa Bell by Frances Spalding and I'm excited about reading it next year.

A charming story written in a simple, straightforward style. Mrs Harris is a likeable character, who has a lovely adventure in Paris, where she forms friendships with the people she encounters. I immediately watched the film, which has some subtle changes and a different ending. Both book and film put a smile on my face.

I've been missing Proust in the morning, so decided to return to Woolf. I read the first two volumes of her diary a few years ago, so starting with Volume 3. There was immediate comfort to be back in her prose.
