Title: A true classic
Review: Reading this biography, I can understand why this is a classic in its field. It reads like water. It's effortless. It's a look into, of course, the life and times of another person, but also a look at another time and world. For not being a "thriller", I think it's a real page turner. I have read some of Strachey's books which are beautifully crafted and very evocative and this biography is a real tribute to that writer. The preface is also quite interesting as the author tells us about the history of his writing the book. While it is a long book it doesn't feel long in the reading. For anyone interested in the Bloomsbury group this is a not to be missed read. Just terrific.
