"There was and is only one girl in my life, an object of terror and tenderness, an object too, of universal compassion..."
Love this book, and I love seeing the notes and thoughts on every page!
Also featuring my fave #bookmark for #Booktober ! Vintage pressed bronze (maybe?) bought as a gift at the beautiful Hatfield House Christmas market (childhood home of Anne Boleyn!).

My lovely #textonlycover copy of "The original of Laura"!
I love the words, Nabokov's poetry and especially the name (the same as mine!).
