I am just seeing this! I found the teeth fascinating too. Eventually she did have some teeth out in the hopes of curing her. I would love to write a sequel.

Her voice was so modern and vibrant and messy and alive. She just stepped off the page as a character for me. I became a bit obsessed and fell down the Bloomsbury rabbit hole. I chose this format because they are so closely associated with diaries and letters. That is how they lived in my imagination. Thank you for getting in touch!(less)

VANESSA

So I have not written a plumbean since last February.  I have a really really good reason.  I have been writing, editing, rewriting, writing some more and finally finishing my second book!  It is the story of the painter Vanessa Bell and her famous sister, the writer, Virginia Woolf.  The outrageous brilliant artistic literary friends are all there and the story is set in glamorous bohemian pre-wa Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Priya Parmar  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I am not waiting. I am not waiting for anyone any more. It was me I was waiting for.”
Priya Parmar, Vanessa and Her Sister

“A family is a messy unwieldy thing bounded only by blood andbeneath all the embarrassmentaffection.”
Priya Parmar, Exit the Actress

“The rest of us are still living on the borrowed fuel of potential and so far have not left deep footprints. But together we carry a brackish air of importance. As if we are doing something worthy in the world. Maybe how we live our lives is the grand experiment? Mixing company, throwing out customs, using first names, waiting to marry, ignoring the rules, and choosing what to care about. Is that why we matter? Or perhaps Miss Warre-Cornish is right and we do not matter in the least.”
Priya Parmar, Vanessa and Her Sister
