Virginia Wolff by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara and Audrey Day - ADVISABLE

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

Virginia WOlff was born in London to a family which loved art and literature. When three important family members died within a few years, Virginia and her siblings moved. There she met her future husband, who was there to support Virginia through her mental challenges and cheered her on as she wrote her famous novels.

I like Vegara’s honesty about Wolff’s mental challenges and about the topic of her book Orlando, which is about an LGBT character. Excellent work in a small package.
