Quite fascinating and well-researched. The amount of material included is staggering, but with all the letters, books and published material available, not to mention personal connection, it is not so surprising. I found the biography has rather put me off reading some of the sisters' published work, but I have recently started reading one of Nancy's books, after some encouragement, as I thought I should give it a go rather than dismiss them completely.
It is not an unbiased biography, but if you can look past this it is a remarkable account. It took me over a year to finish it!
