Description
Frances Partridge: the last survivor of the Bloomsbury group - the authorised biography. This is the remarkable story of Frances Partridge, one of the great British diarists of the 20th century. Born into a world of intellectuals and artists, Frances Partridge became part of the influential Bloomsbury group in her youth. She met many notable figures, including Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, and E.M. Forster, and formed lasting relationships with them. Her marriage to Ralph Partridge was a happy one, and together they enjoyed entertaining friends during times of peace. Despite facing personal losses, Frances Partridge maintained an extraordinary zest for life, pursuing her passions for botany, music, and travel. Her diaries, which span from the 1930s until her death in 2004, offer a unique insight into her life and experiences. This biography brings to light her remarkable story, elevating her from a minor figure on the Bloomsbury stage to centre of her own narrative.
