Virginia Routh Lynch, a writer most of her life, writes from her life experiences. She has been in psychiatry as a psychotherapist and was in private practice as an analytical psychologist. Early in her life, Virginia spent five years during World War II as a refugee in Princeton, New Jersey. Later she moved back to our native England, married when she was 21 and has four children, twelve grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Most recently, at of 87, Virginia is also the published author of a new book just out, called “The Cloak.” This amazing new “memoir,” reads more like a novel, but is drawn from her long and highly personal journey into and exploration of the unconscious. Virginia explains in this interview how she chose her title — “The Cloak,” which is highly symbolic. When asked about tackling such a book after so many other kinds of writing she has accomplished, she answered that until she decided and begin writing the book, the information seemed to be blocked. While writing is never easy, it has, she said,- helped her break open some of the blocks. “I didn’t recognize the reason for the blocks, but I felt unfulfilled and dissatisfied. Now I feel I have achieved what I was meant to do.”
