GOOD LEAVES – Virginia Woolf, despite her own success, admitted to feeling jealousy only towards Mansfield, who however was relegated to the dustbin of literary history.
Mansfield considered writing his only refuge.
In the south of France, despite the pain and isolation of her last days, she produced some of her most memorable works. She craved linguistic precision and harmony in her writing, which often cost her energy but also brought her great joy.
