On March 28, 1941, Virginia Woolf filled her pockets with pebbles and threw herself into the River Ouse near Rodmell, Sussex, a stone's throw from Monk's House, the house where she lived with her husband Leonard. She drowned. It was what she wanted. She was 59. It took days before her body was found. In the void created by the absence of news, friends and family gathered in Charleston, the home of her sister Vanessa Bell. One day the phone rang. And everyone, within those walls full of art and ancient emotions, discovered what had happened: it was revealed that the horror of war had amplified Virginia's fears and insecurity. Her depression, the inability to correlate with a violent world in which she did not recognize herself anymore. The line number was Alfriston 245.
