Woolf was said to have been pleased with THE YEARS because it sold more copies on reception than any of her other novels but she felt a failure as she wrote in her private correspondence to her friend Margaret Keynes sister-in-law to John Maynard Keynes "20th June 1937 Dear Margaret It was very nice of you to write. It's so seldom any letter about one's books gives one pleasure but yours did; for one thing you liked some of the same people that I liked . I thought it a complete failure when I'd done: it's a marvel to me that you find it not mere old wives gossip: I was very excited when I wrote it I remember -- only it was way too long and I was ill and I couldn't pull it together. And oh what a grind it was cutting out and trying to make a whole of it. But now your letter is a consolation" -- Nicolson Vol. Six p.138. <br /> <br /> <br /> .
