Portrait of a Marriage
Portrait of a Marriage: Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson | Nigel Nicolson, Victoria Sackville-West
2 posts | 3 read
Vita Sackville-West, novelist, poet, and biographer, is best known as the friend of Virginia Woolf, who transformed her into an androgynous time-traveler in Orlando. The story of her love affair with Violet Keppel Trefusis in 1920 is one of intrigue and bewilderment. In Portrait of a Marriage, Nigel Nicolson combines his mother's vivid memoir of escapade with what he learned from copious family letters and explains the context of this romantic crisis. He also describes how Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson went on to live the rest of their lives in harmonious marriage.

I've read about Virginia but not all that much about Vita. This book is full of Vita's letters and diary entries. I just got lost in it. I'm so glad I happened across this one.

What a nice surprise to open the door this morning and discover a book on my front porch. My neighbor and I went to see the play Orlando, and she told me about this book. #neighborssharingbooks
