Full review: <a>https://www.tinakakadelis.com/beyond-the-cinerama-dome/2021/12/28/quite-simple-desperate-humannbspway-vita-amp-virginia-review<a> Despite Virginia Woolf’s fame as an author in the early 1900s, not much is known about her decades-long love affair with fellow writer Vita Sackville-West. Both of the women spent their lives married to men, but their marriages were open to outside relationships. _Vita & Virginia_ is an attempt to bring the details of their affair to light.
