The Bloomsbury Group was a union of friends who transformed British culture with their approach to art, design and society.

Together they created a revolution in British style that resonates with contemporary painters, writers, actors, designers, fashion editors and publishers.

She presents 20 fascinating biographies, all of which are illustrated with paintings and intimate photographs created by members of the group.
