Review
Bombay to Bloomsbury provides grippingly readable insight into British history between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries through the life histories of this extraordinary family. (Pat Thane, BBC History Magazine )

Its broad sweep of connecting ideas and its revealing and often amusing detail of the lives of the less well-known Stracheys. (Sarah Curtis, TLS )

That biography and history can be fruitful friends is brilliantly demonstrated in Barbara Caine's new book about the Strachey family. (The Guardian )

Sterling work, meticulous research, something of great value. (Sunday Times )

Times Higher Education Supplement, April 22, 2005
An engrossing book that will be of interest not just to historians but also to the intellegent general reader.
