About this product

Product Information

Frances Partridge was one of the great British diarists of the 20th century. She was born in 1900, the daughter of a progressive mother and architect father whose friends included Henry James and Arthur Conan Doyle. After studying Moral Sciences and English at Cambridge, Frances worked in Heywood Hill's Curzon Street bookshop inLondon and soon became part olf the Bloomsbury group encountering Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, the Bells, Roger Fry, Maynard Keynes, Dora Carrington, Lytton Strachey and Ralph Partridge. She and Ralph fell in love and married in 1933. During WWII they were committed pacifists and opened their house, Ham Spray, to numerous waifs and strays of war. After it was over they enjoyed the happiest of times of their life together, entertaining friends such as E M Forster, Robert Kee and Duncan Grant. Frances' life changed abruptly with two sudden and unexpected deaths. Ralph had a heart attack in 1960 and three years later their only son, Burgo, died, aged 28 from a brain haemorrhage. 'I have utterly lost heart: I want no more of this cruel life,' Frances was to write later. However she survived, indeed prospered for another 40 decades, showing an astonishing appetite for life. Her diaries chronicle life from the 1930s. But this biography shows Frances also as other saw her.
