Description
« Enfin, les visages s'écartaient ; alors, elle tombait dans une eau profonde, visqueuse, qui finalement se refermait sur elle. Elle ne voyait plus rien, elle n'entendait plus qu'un grondement assourdi - le bruit de la mer déferlant au-dessus de sa tête. » Virginia Woolf écrivait cela dans son premier roman, La Traversée des apparences. Elle voulait avoir deux chambres à soi : l'une à Londres pour ses brillantes soirées, l'autre dans la paix d'un petit village du Sussex. Avec l'aide de son mari Léonard, et d'un groupe d'amis bienveillants - le groupe de Bloomsbury -, avec son imagination, son intelligence et son courage, elle ne cessa de lutter contre ses troubles psychiques tout en construisant une oeuvre marquante de la littérature anglaise du XXe siècle.
