Portrait of a Marriage - V. Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson

Some secondhand wear. Some marks and wear to dustjacket and foxing to page edges.

The story of Sackville-West's marriage to Harold Nicolson is one of intrigue and bewilderment. In Portrait of a Marriage, their son Nigel combines his mother's memoir with his own explanations and what he learned from their many letters. Even during her various love affairs with women, Vita maintained a loving marriage with Harold. The book presents an often misunderstood but always fascinating couple. It is as close to a cry from the heart as anybody writing in English in our time has come, and it is a cry that, once heard, is not likely ever to be forgotten...Unexpected and astonishing.
