  <default-description>Painter Vanessa Bell and writer Virginia Woolf were sisters, best friends, bitter rivals, artistic collaborators, and possibly lovers. They were devoted to one another, yet fiercely competitive; the closest of co-conspirators, yet they betrayed each other. For the first time, this debut novel by a top Woolf scholar imagines the sisters' lifelong relationship from Vanessa's point of view. With sensitivity, imagination, and fidelity to what is known of both lives, Sellers has created a powerful portrait of sibling rivalry.</default-description>
