When Lady Slane was young, she nurtured a secret, burning ambition: to become an artist. She became, instead, the dutiful wife of a great statesman, and mother to six children. In her widowhood she finally defies her family. Her children, all over sixty, have planned for her to spend her remaining days quietly, as a paying guest of each of them in turn. Much to their dismay, Lady Slane rents a small house in Hampstead and chooses to live independently, free from her past. She revels in her new-found freedom, living the life she forfeited seventy years earlier to the conventions of a Victorian marriage, and attracts an odd assortment of companions. Among them is Mr FitzGeorge, an eccentric millionaire who met her in India, when she was very young and very lovely?.?.?. First published in 1931, All Passion Spent is the fictional companion to her friend Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own.

感觉智商被碾压。毕竟是Virginia Woolf看上的女人。
评分感觉智商被碾压。毕竟是Virginia Woolf看上的女人。
评分A widow of the gentry casting her mind back to the oldest dream of being a painter counterpoints a single old man moaning over a separation from his gay partner (in Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man). The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Will I have the backbone to dig up the past in my declining years? Say No.
评分读的是vintage2016年出的版本。确是好书。译书是精读，因喜爱此书，已将其尽数自译为中文，方得领略，其语言之流畅优美，恰如一首夕阳赞歌；意识流片段读来毫不晦涩，似有一种力量，牵引着读者与女主共同追忆。薇塔当是一位自知并知世甚深的女子，且明了兼深信自然之力，并不怀有影响或改变世界的雄心，不过安为自己，创造风景，也活成一道风景。
评分(1931/2009) R4 w/Honor Blackman & Alec McCowen. 从婚姻关系中解脱后重获自由，对激情和亲情关系的反省
