Recollections of Virginia Woolf

I've always been fascinated by Virginia Woolf and, after having watched a film about her and Vita Sackville-West (which wasn't that good) wanted to know more about what she was really like. I found a second hand reprint of this 1972 collection of memories of people who knew her which was just engrossing.
People's opinions varied but many said the same thing - the tall woman with nervous movements, plainly dressed, green eyes and deep, throaty voice. A woman who teased her guests and friends and invented fantasies about their lives, who was deeply curious about the minutiae of people's lives; a compulsive writer whose nervous condition was closely monitored by her devoted but longsuffering husband, Leonard.
People's opinions about her writing varied, some dismissing books like The Waves and her life of Roger Fry, others considering them amongst her finest. But, whatever they felt, the impression of a unique woman, full of life and laughter but subject to mental health issues whose writing is amongst the most distinctive of the 20th Century remains above all.
