Do you really need to read another book about Virginia Woolf? Even the author questioned this, but the answer is yes. They shouldn't have worried, however, because the text is an interesting mix of the author's experience with their own writing life and Woolf's work. One of the things I most relate to in this book is how Queyras describes their quest to inhabit a room to work in and how incredibly hard it is to achieve this. Life gets in the way, and rooms have their price. Yes, this book is for Woolf lovers but it doesn't let her off the hook -- it encourages us to judge her by her best attributes and relates themes that flow throughout Woolf's work to the real, complicated world we live in.
