-- The Washington Post Book World
"Brave, honest, beautifully attentive, and loyal... DeSalvo knows Woolf's work, especially her early work and juvenilia, practically by heart.... She pays very close attention to the early diaries, newsletters, and sketches in which Woolf reveals the extent of her abuse the way it hurt her, and the way she decided to fight back.... Thorough and convincing."
-- The Boston Globe
"Exciting...Well-documented and revealing... DeSalvo views Woolf as an incest survivor from a classically dysfunctional family .... The Virginia Wolf who emerges from this account is an amazingly brave woman, even more subversive anti far-seeing than has been apparent, one who wrote and talked as openly as she could about her incest experience, with little support, at a time when the subject was forbidden."
-- San Francisco Chronicle
"Woolf scholar Louise DeSalvo's major new revisionist study...shatters the establishment view on numerous aspects of the brilliant British writer's life -- from her 'madness' to her purportedly idyllic childhood to the reasons why she committed suicide.... Part biography, part literary criticism, [DeSalvo's book] gives fascinating examples of symptoms Woolf experienced that have been shared by contemporary incest survivors."
-- The Hartford Courant
