- Angelica Garnett was born at Charleston, the West Sussex farmhouse of her mother Vanessa Bell, a central figure of the Bloomsbury Group. Virginia Woolf was her maternal aunt. For many years, she believed her biological father was Vanessa's husband Clive Bell, but she was told at age 18 that he was Duncan Grant. She was raised among the extensive Bloomsbury set and attended boarding school at Langford Grove in Essex. She left without qualifications and spent several months living in Rome and then Paris. In 1936, she went to London and trained briefly as an actress under Michel Saint-Denis and George Devine at the London Theatre Studio. She switched to the study of art at the Euston Road School.
In 1942, at age 24, she married David Garnett, an editor, reviewer and novelist with whom she had a relationship that had begun four years earlier, to the dismay of her parents. Garnett had been the lover of her father Duncan Grant at the time of Angelica's birth, a fact she only learned much later. Angelica and her husband had four daughters: Amaryllis, Henrietta, Nerissa, and Frances. Angelica is best known for her memoir Deceived With Kindness: A Bloomsbury Childhood (1984), which won the J.R. Ackerley Prize for Autobiography in 1985. She also wrote a second memoir, The Eternal Moment (1998), and published a volume of autobiographical fiction entitled The Unspoken Truth: A Quartet of Bloomsbury Stories (2010).
