So I am not actually looking for a book. I am looking for a sibling set of authors that were part of a wealthy eccentric British family. They where what I think what would have been classified as early modernist proponents? But I am not sure. I think the sister's name was Eugenia. They wrote I think their own literary and art journals and were patrons to I think Virginia Woolf, or writers similar to the Bloomsbury set. If anyone recognizes this family I would appreciate it if you could respond with what their family name was? I just can't remember it? I just can't find any info about them. I realize this is a little obscure but I would really appreciate if anyone could come up with a name.

Perhaps the Strachey family? Lytton Strachey is the best known but I am more familiar with Dorothy Strachey the author of Olivia.
You're probably thinking of Edith, Osbert, and Sacheverell Sitwell. In addition to being prolific writers themselves, they hosted a literary salon and discovered a great many up-and-coming authors.
