For the very last time, author Quentin Bell visits Charleston, the farmstead in the English countryside where he grew up fifty years ago. At one time, Charleston was ‘pictureperfect’ and filled with artists, free thinkers and children, all living out their work, their adventures and their romances. Now the home is in ruins and has just a single resident, an elderly painter named Duncan Grant. But even Duncan will eventually depart and nothing will be left besides stories and memories. Quentin decides to put the stories on paper so that nobody will forget these strong-willed inhabitants of this paradise on earth…
Tell Me Who We Were is a story based on facts and historical people and the third part in the Bloomsbury-trilogy. It can also be read as a standalone novel.
‘A wonderful finale to the series about the Bloomsbury Group. (…) Thanks to the author’s smooth writing, convincing dialogue and evocative scene-setting, the reader gains a wonderful insight into the characters and their surroundings. You become completely captivated by the story and find yourself empathising with Quentin and Duncan. (…) A must-read!’ – pluizuit.be
