Revue de presse :
"Nicely packaged ... Her book s subject matter, although hardly unfamiliar, never fails to grip" --The Sunday Times
"There can be few racier literary or artistic sets than the Pre-Raphaelites. Perhaps only the Bloomsbury group can rival them for incestuous pairings, which is why Henrietta Garnett, the daughter of David Garnett and Angelica Bell ... is so well placed to understand them" --Independent on Sunday
"Her angle is the women in their lives, a very reasonable approach since the greatest Pre-Raphaelite pictures are of women" --The Daily Express
"It is one of the strengths of Garnett s writing that she doesn t take sides, or rather, she tends to take both sides at once...It s in moments such as these that Garnett s book excels. Real feeling emerges, and a knack for colourful, engaged phrase-making."
--Spectator
"She is alert to physical details and frequently walks her readers around particular rooms, pointing out what is in them.
She perceives what is happening between two people at any one moment in time. She is also wise but not judgmental. She notices the absurd and has fun with the facts available to her, but she never mocks.
Even those who know something about these artists and their relationships with women will find Garnett engaging. Her stance is clear-eyed, unbiased and unfussy. Her prose is brisk, yet behind it can be felt a nice poise of mind." --Daily Mail
"Garnett is good at evoking the bohemian mores of this tightly knit group of friends, setting them against the deeply conventional and male dominated society in which they worked." --Literary Review
