Love Letters: Vita and Virginia by Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West
Harold, they're lesbians!*
Some human behaviors are entirely unchanging.
Virginia and Vita as writers who always think the other won't like their work, and then they get into a fight the one time Vita doesn't like what Virginia wrote.
Virginia and Vita as lovers who never quite have their fully realized physical passion. But they're obsessed with each other, and Vita declares she's not falling in love. Virginia is also so jealous.
I adored how much Vita loved Orlando, and how vain she was about it.
(*This Harold knew.)
My favorite part is when Vita drops by and misses Virginia, who is out on a walk. Vita says she didn't call beforehand because it's so rude to interrupt life with phone calls! As if dropping by randomly isn't interrupting. IDK, maybe they had this right, and we have it so wrong.
I sniffled at the end, even though it was spoilers for history from 80 years ago that I already knew.
4/5 stars
