[Vwoolf] Woolf in Pop Culture

[Alice Lowe]

Jane Gardam is remarkable. And she slips Woolf into other work as well. In her 
2008 novel, Faith Fox, a major character is Thomasina Fox. A confused woman 
refers to her as Thomasina Woolf, remarking that “She wrote The Waves, you 
know.” 

 
There are appearances as well in her stories "The Last Reunion" and "The People 
on Privilege Hill."

A belated Woolf spotting.  I just finished reading Jane Gardam's Crusoe's 
Daughter (heard an NPR recommendation and it is indeed a pleasant summer read), 
and she appears as a glimpsed character.
