A Very Close Conspiracy by Jane Dunn
The lives of Virginia Woolf and her sister, Vanessa Bell embodied opposites of human nature. The former was dedicated to the life of the mind and imagination, the latter to sensuous and sensual experience. This book shows how the two sisters developed and enriched each other's lives. The two sisters' childhood was blighted by tragedy and trauma and their early lives were subject to the frustrations that were common to the women of Victorian and Edwardian England. Dunn argues that their subsequent successes as writer and artist owed much to this mutual enrichment. Jane Dunn is also the author of "Moon in Eclipse: A Life of Mary Shelley".
Jane Dunn was born in South Africa and grew up with her five sisters and two brothers. Her first book, Moon in Eclipse: A Life of Mary Shelley, won a Yorkshire Post Award. Reviewing it in The Times, Richard Holmes described her as having 'that sine qua non of the true biographer, and an eye for significant detail and the power to fit int into a larger pattern.' She lives in London with her two children.
