Thank you for an enlightening and beautifull written piece. As a gardener, I have read about Vita's history but learning about this aspect of her life in a more open way really illuminates both women's place in literary, horticultural and scial history.
Very nice. The balance of the post mirrors the balance of the lives of these two remarkable women and their relationships, both intimate and literary. I've read biographies of both women but have gotten a better sense out of this essay than I did of the much longer and more detailed efforts of their biographers. I read Orlando when I was way too young and missed most of its message. Maybe it's time to revisit it now that I am old enough to actually understand it.
