"Follows Virginia Woolf's life from a childhood marked by love and
loss to her dogged rise as one of humanity's most significant
writers. Intersecting her life are larger threads - the women's
suffrage movement, the artists and intellectuals of the Bloomsbury
group, the world wars. Zena Alkayat narrates with succulent
concision, but her affectionate admiration for Woolf shows. Nina
Cosford's charming illustrations contain echoes of the Provensens
and Maira Kalman, yet stand as thoroughly original. Spliced into
the story are Woolf's own beguiling lines." -- New York Times
"Writer Zena Alkayat and artist Nina Cosford explore Woolf's
remarkable life with equal parts concision, compassion, and
unsentimental reverence." -- Brain Pickings
