A New York Times Notable Book • An Entertainment Weekly “Must List” Pick • “Prepare to be dazzled.”—Paula McLain • “Quite simply astonishing.”—Sarah Blake

What if Virginia Woolf’s sister had kept a diary? For fans of The Paris Wife and Loving Frank comes a spellbinding new story of the inseparable bond between Virginia and her sister, the gifted painter Vanessa Bell, and the real-life betrayal that threatened to destroy their family. Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as “an uncanny success” and based on meticulous research, this stunning novel illuminates a little-known episode in the celebrated sisters’ glittering bohemian youth among the legendary Bloomsbury Group.

London, 1905: The city is alight with change, and the Stephen siblings are at the forefront. Vanessa, Virginia, Thoby, and Adrian are leaving behind their childhood home and taking a house in the leafy heart of avant-garde Bloomsbury. There they bring together a glittering circle of bright, outrageous artistic friends who will grow into legend and come to be known as the Bloomsbury Group. And at the center of this charmed circle are the devoted, gifted sisters: Vanessa, the painter, and Virginia, the writer.

Each member of the group will go on to earn fame and success, but so far Vanessa Bell has never sold a painting. Virginia Woolf’s book review has just been turned down by The Times. Lytton Strachey has not published anything. E. M. Forster has finished his first novel but does not like the title. Leonard Woolf is still a civil servant in Ceylon, and John Maynard Keynes is looking for a job. Together, this sparkling coterie of artists and intellectuals throw away convention and embrace the wild freedom of being young, single bohemians in London.

But the landscape shifts when Vanessa unexpectedly falls in love and her sister feels dangerously abandoned. Eerily possessive, charismatic, manipulative, and brilliant, Virginia has always lived in the shelter of Vanessa’s constant attention and encouragement. Without it, she careens toward self-destruction and madness. As tragedy and betrayal threaten to destroy the family, Vanessa must decide if it is finally time to protect her own happiness above all else.

The work of exciting young newcomer Priya Parmar, Vanessa and Her Sister exquisitely captures the champagne-heady days of prewar London and the extraordinary lives of sisters Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf.

"Patriotic Perfection in Leather - A 5-Star Salute to Tommy Hilfiger!"
Size: One Size, Color: Red/White/Blue
In a world where wallets come and go, the Tommy Hilfiger Leather Wallet in its resplendent red, white, and blue has emerged as a timeless tribute to style and patriotism. It's not just a wallet; it's a declaration of fashion independence, and I'm here to wave its flag high and proud! From the moment this beauty arrived, it was clear it was something special. The leather - oh, the leather! - is as supple as the land of the free itself, with a craftsmanship that whispers tales of artisanal mastery. Its vibrant hues aren't just colors; they're a salute to style, a nod to the brand's heritage, and a high-five to good old-fashioned Americana. Functionality hasn't taken a backseat to fashion, either. This wallet is like the Swiss Army knife of financial carriers - slots aplenty, with each card and bill cradled in the luxury they didn't know they needed. It's as if Tommy himself sat down and thought, "Let's make something that not only holds your money but elevates it." And let's talk durability. This wallet has been through the wringer - back pockets, crowded bags, a toddler's curious hands - and emerged each time looking as dapper as a Fourth of July parade. It's the Bruce Springsteen of wallets: rugged, enduring, and unapologetically American. In awarding this gem a well-deserved 5 stars, I'm not just rating a product; I'm endorsing a piece of art that blends functionality with a fierce sense of style. The Tommy Hilfiger Leather Wallet in red, white, and blue is more than an accessory; it's a companion for life, a slice of the American dream tucked neatly into your pocket.

Nice Wallet
Size: One Size, Color: Oxford Black
Nice looking wallet. I thought with the tri-fold it would be bulky in partners back pocket. Nope all good. Lots of places to insert credit cards, licence. Recommend for those who like a slim wallet
