"Leonard Woolf has found the ideal biographer in Victoria
Glendinning. Scintillating, subtle, and wise, she lifts him out of
the fog of Bloomsbury gossip and lets us see how various and
remarkable he was in his own right." -- Claire Tomalin, author of
Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self
"There's a special pleasure in a fresh approach to a significant
life. Victoria Glendinning's clarity and cool intelligence lends
itself easily to those qualities in her subject, and there's an
admirable balance between her attention to Leonard Woolf 's
autobiographies and the fresh ray she casts upon his life." --
Lyndall Gordon, author of Virginia Woolf: A Writer's Life
