Summary:
On April 18, 1941, twenty-two days after
Virginia
Woolf
went for a walk near her weekend house in Sussex and never returned, her body was reclaimed from the River Ouse. Norah Vincent's
Adeline
reimagines the events that brought
Woolf
to the riverbank, offering us a denouement worthy of its protagonist. With poetic precision and psychological acuity, Vincent channels
Virginia
and Leonard
Woolf
, T. S. and Vivienne Eliot, Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington, laying bare their genius and their blind spots, their achievements and their failings, from the inside out. And haunting every page is
Adeline
, the name given to
Virginia
Stephen at birth, which becomes the source of
Virginia
's greatest consolation, and her greatest torment. Intellectually and emotionally disarming,
Adeline
- a vibrant portrait of
Woolf
and her social circle, the infamous Bloomsbury Group, and a window into the darkness that both inspired and doomed them all - is a masterpiece in its own right by one of our most brilliant and daring writers.
