About This Novel
A literary classic that transcends time and space, Woolf's soul mate and legendary writer Vita writes life lessons for all women, novel version of "A Room of One's Own". It is never too late for women to realize their self-awakening, self-liberation and self-worth. During his lifetime, Lord Slane served as the Governor-General of India and the British Prime Minister, and was a major figure in British politics. After his death, the outside world thought that his eighty-eight-year-old widow would continue to be a well-behaved and decent "vase" and gradually wither in grief. But Mrs. Slane, contrary to everyone's expectations, ignored the self-righteous arrangements of her children, moved to a rented house in Hampstead, and started living an independent life. There, she regained the freedom she longed for and met some special companions. During the conversation with them, she recalled her ambitions when she was young, and slowly discovered how much she had sacrificed in the past years in order to live up to others' so-called expectations...

Well, I haven't read a book in a long time. I regained the familiar feeling.
So calm, like the sea in the early morning. Although calm, it is full of power.
Believe in your talents and stick to your conscience to be your true self.
