Loading... The journey not the arrival matters : an autobiography of the years 1939 to 1969 (edition 1969)by Leonard Woolf rowmyboat | Apr 30, 2009 |   I've read volumes 1 and 5 of his autobiography, and loved them. Leonard Woolf was an extremely intelligent man and an excellent writer. His prose has great clarity, and he did a lovely job of recalling his earlier life for these books. This volume relates life in Britain during WWII, and also covers Virginia's suicide. We forget, sometimes, that Leonard was so accomplished in the shadow of his wife, but here we are reminded through accounts of his literary and political undertakings. You should read these of you love Virginia. You should read these if the waning days of the British Empire interest you. (  ) rowmyboat | Apr 30, 2009 | |
