Moments of Being
Moments of Being | Virginia Woolf
Published years after her death, Moments of Being is Virginia Woolfs only autobiographical writing, considered by many to be her most important book. In Reminiscences, the first of five pieces included in Moments of Being, Woolf focuses on the death of her mother, the greatest disaster that could happen, and its effect on her father, a demanding Victorian patriarch who played a crucial role in her development as an individual and a writer. Three of the essays she wrote for the purpose of reading at the Memoir Club, a postwar regrouping of Bloomsbury, and A Sketch of the Past the last and longest of the five essays, gives an account of Woolf's early years in her family's household at 22 Hyde Park Gate.

1-8-22: My 3rd finished book of 2022! I‘ve always loved Virginia Woolf. In Moments of Being there are 5 pieces of autobiographical writing. She discusses her family, the death of her mother, and enjoyable times with her siblings and her many friends in the Bloomsbury group. It was very interesting to have a glimpse into her life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣3️⃣

Had a lovely afternoon of yummy food, a pile of books, and a quiet view! What was I celebrating? My divorce is complete and finalized! After six months of anxiety it's finally over. No more abuse, ever. I'm free! And I couldn't be happier! I love the small town I've relocated to 🌼, am surrounded by my books 📚 and kitties 🐱 and litsy family 💕, and I start my new librarian job next week! 📖 Life is good. 😊💟
