Angelica Garnett may truly be called a child of Bloomsbury. Her Aunt was Virginia Woolf, her mother Vanessa Bell, and her father Duncan Grant, though for many years Angelica believed herself, naturally enough, the daughter of Vanessa's husband Clive. Her childhood homes, Charleston in Sussex and Gordon Square in London, were both centres of Bloomsbury activity, and she grew up surrounded by the most talked-about writers and artists of the day - Leonard and Virginia Woolf, Roger Fry, the Stracheys, Maynard Keynes, David Garnett (whom she later married), and many others. But Deceived with Kindness is also a record of a young girl's particular struggle to achieve independence from that extraordinary and intense milieu as a mature and independent woman. With an honesty that is by degrees agonising and uplifting, the author creates a vibrant, poignant picture of her mother, Vanessa Bell, of her own emergent individuality, and of the Bloomsbury era.

Angelica Garnett är född i England 1918, dotter till målarna Vanessa Bell och Duncan Grant. I all välmening hölls hon dock tills hon fyllt sjutton år i okunnighet om att hennes far inte var Vanessas man Clive Bell. Föräldrarna tillhörde, liksom mostern Virginia Woolf, den berömda Bloomsburygruppen som präglade det engelska kulturlivet under 1900-talets tre första årtionden. I all välmening berättar om en ung kvinnas strävan efter frigörelse från de starka personligheter som omgav henne och ger samtidigt en närgången inblick i en fascinerande värld.
