Mitz

In "Mitz," Sigrid Nunez presents the charming story of a marmoset named Mitz, who became an inseparable companion to Leonard Woolf after he rescued her in 1934. As she became a beloved figure within Bloomsbury society, Mitz formed special bonds with notable literary figures like T. S. Eliot and Vita Sackville-West, all while accompanying the Woolfs on their travels, including a narrow escape from Nazi Germany. Through letters, diaries, and memoirs, Nunez offers a tender and humorous glimpse into the unique dynamics of the Woolf household, celebrating the role of pets in enriching lives.
