Hi Danell,

My apologies for being too quick in that search (I didn't see the full title, alas). I'm sure that there will be some posts soon thanks to the NYT mini-review that Karen has shared.

It also looks as though the list of editorial reviews that I sent was was corrupted in the email. I've stripped the passage in the email down to plain text which should prevent the information from being garbled (or just shoved off the screen). 

Here's that info:

Amazon's current snippets of editorial reviews are pasted in below (including a passage from Gretchen's own review). (The link is: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Prince-Virginia-Woolf-Dreadnought/dp/1805260065__;!!KGKeukY!wModblJAbMyGlQoSV7gGkIEUhp0Mj717O2blUPiwHKNm3697tYuzP9TcDq2AF5krXXy-j-dMLnUetM-T4L6qS3QKwNsW$ .)

"A fascinating, unnerving, and enlightening perspective on a transformative writer and the society that forged her sensibility, radical creativity, and despair." -- Booklist 

"An enlightening and insightful book that keeps you reading." -- Remi Adekoya, author of Biracial Britain

"An enthralling book. Danell Jones at last provides the nuanced context and deep historical research so often lacking in commentary on this infamous incident." -- Mark Hussey, author of Virginia Woolf A-Z and Clive Bell and the Making of Modernism

"Jones introduces many of the extraordinary Black individuals' resident in the U.K. at the time, including in Woolf's Bloomsbury, some of whom would go on to play crucial roles in the dismantling of Empire (arguably still ongoing)." -- The New York Journal Review of Books

"Deeply researched and marvellously written, this is the book about Bloomsbury and the Dreadnought Hoax that we've been waiting for. Jones gives an essential racial and historical context for the event and its aftermath, which continues to this day." -- Gretchen Gerzina, author of Black England: A Forgotten Georgian History

"This thorough overview of the hoax and its afterlives presents a unique window onto the early 20th-century British empire." 
-- Publishers Weekly

You don't often get email from danelljones at bresnan.net. Learn why this is important

Thank you so much, Vara for sharing these links! Unfortunately, the link you shared on Amazon is for a different book. 😊 There are no reader reviews of The Girl Prince on Amazon yet.
 
I am so grateful to Gretchen Gerzina and Mark Hussey for their kind words about it.
 
I feel so very fortunate to be part of this generous and supportive community of Woolfians.
 
Danell
