page-turner; fascinating; a masterpiece

History, drama, death of loved ones, war, famous people, writing, publishing, post-publishing, Hitler, refugees, aeroplanes droning over the house, no money, no food, outsider, noise, 3 months of bombing London, diaries rescued from rubble, "The foot less prompt to meet the morning dew, The heart less bounding at emotion new, And hope, once crush'd, less quick to spring again.", hungry, make up imaginary meals, no more room of one's own, Hitler believed to be invading in "3 weeks" ., no future, no spending one's elderly years in financial comfort, "observe my own despondency", "I will go down with my colours flying", "write to Ethel and invite myself to stay" (E does not answer) , threatened with rest cure, "L. is doing the rhododendrons..." This, the last of Virginia's diaries is a masterpiece. I read it first, then began with diary 1, then proceeded back to diary 5 and read it for a second time. Highly recommended. ....MONTHS LATER; I've discovered that I've just written a review of vol 5, not vol 4. Will fix one of these days! Vol 4 is excellent also with Lytton, Dora, and Roger ending and success, The Waves, fame, Yeats, drive thru Jew-hating Germany, visits, Quentin, Angelica, oh yeah and L writes "Quack ......" ,etc... quite wonderful volume(s) four AND five are! and V.W. at an important time in her life.
