[Vwoolf] In the Rhododendrons by Heather Christle | Hachette Book Group

[Mark Hussey]

Having just read Heather Christle's wonderful memoir, I'd say don't rely
too much on Kirkus's summary. Also, it's not in any sense a 'biography' of
Woolf, but is brilliantly Woolf-haunted throughout. And Christle's poet's
ear makes for some very moving writing. Highly recommended!
