I think you are the only person who has actually talked me into giving Woolf a second chance. My only experience with her was Night and Day, and, to be honest, I didn't think much of it. Doing a quick search online, I've found there is only one translation of The Years to Portuguese, which kind of explains why this book isn't really talked about here (and this one edition is unavailable in all major bookshops websites). But if I were to give Woolf a second chance, would you say I'd better read To The Lighthouse or The Years? I loved the second part of this newsletter. Literature is interesting, but History is a passion. Your 'piece' on Devil's Acre reminded me of Notes of Old Edinburgh by Isabella Bird. Its a heartbreaking read (and it seems she is describing something out of a horror film) but it shows how deep Victorian 'poverty rabbit hole' was.
