Product Description:
Here is an absorbing biography of the English artist Dora Carrington, who called herself simply 'Carrington'. A talented painter, living a bohemian life, Carrington was torn by conflicts as an artist and a woman. A mystery to those who knew her, she achieved notoriety by killing herself after the death of noted writer Lytton Strachey, the man she was hopelessly in love with. Her work is now represented in major collections worldwide.
Amazon.com Review:
This absorbing biography of Dora Carrington, the Bloomsbury artist who lived with the noted writer Lytton Strachey, is the basis for the movie starring Emma Thompson. It is a fascinating portrait of a highly individualistic woman and her many remarkable friendships, illustrated with numerous photographs and sketches.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - A very good biography
I read the whole book , so it had to be good. Full of interesting people, a bit of art history and technique, unrequited love here there and everywhere, the lightest blue eyes that made one think of a witch's eyes, famous friends, poetical plot, adventures, illustrations, pictures, written very well, question oneself after reading it, regarding her death, and visit by the Wolf. Try it, you'll like it.
Rating: - great book
The book is very well written with lots of extracts from Carrington's diaries and letters. The book reads like a story though. And it is a very interesting and touching one. I also liked the organisation of the book expecially the index where you can find every piece of information that you forgot as you finish the book. I recommend this book to anyone who likes art and stories about power of love.
