An exploration of the second generation of the iconic Bloomsbury Group who inspired their elders to new heights of creativity and passion while also pushing the boundaries of sexual freedom and gender norms in 1920s England.
What The Reviewers Say
Colorful.
Ms. Strachey underpins her narrative with concerns from her own time, writing in her introduction that, 'as the mother of a child who identifies as gender-fluid and queer,' she feels especially attuned to the discrimination and suppression endured by those members of Young Bloomsbury whose sexuality was nontraditional, and commends them for their courage.
[Strachey's] prose is deft and engaging.
Brisk, light.
