Quarto; hardcover, with gilt spine titling; 223pp., with many monochrome and full-colour illustrations. Minor wear. Dustwrapper now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Near fine. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. The book relates to Sackville-West's marriage to writer and politician Harold Nicolson. Two chapters are written by Sackville-West. They are centred on herself and her passion for Violet Trefusis for whom she abandoned Nicolson, Vita's bisexual husband and her two children, Nigel and Ben. Three chapters were written by Nigel and present the sexual and emotional life secrets of his mother: "I did not know Violet. I met her only twice, and by then she had become a galleon, no longer the pinnacle of her youth, and I did not recognize in her sails the high wind which had swept my mother away. I did not know that Vita could love like this, had loved like this, because she would not speak of it to her son. Now that I know everything I love her more, as my father did, because she was tempted, because she was weak. She was a rebel, she was Julian [Vita's alter ego], and though she did not know it, she fought for more than Violet. She fought for the right to love, men and women, rejecting the conventions that marriage demands exclusive love, and that women should love only men, and men only women. For this she was prepared to give up everything. Yes, she may have been mad, as she later said, but it was a magnificent folly. She may have been cruel, but it was a cruelty on a heroic scale. How can I despise the violence of such passion?" Sackville-West writes mostly about herself and her emotions. Nicolson writes about his father and the love between him and Vita, that grew more and more important for them as their life progressed, and was the base to which each of them returned after Vita's strong passions for other people, including the famous Virginia Woolf and Harold's adventures with men. Nicolson stresses the liberal nature of Vita's and Harold's views and actions about marriage and sexuality in the early years of the 20th century, but also brings forward Vita's intense snobbishness and coldness regarding the lower social classes.

First Edition
HardBack. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1st Edition Putnam 1992. 452pp. Portrait frontispiece and several illustrations from photos. Appears unopened and unread, very good clean tight sound square, no bookplate, inscription or ownership marks of any kind, very feint small discreet ink stamp saying new to halftitle page upper leading corner. Bound in silver lettered and gilt ruled black cloth over green boards, housed and protected in original unclipped portrait pictorial dustwrapper with short closed chip to head of spine. The volume in hand shows via the letters the turbulent and passionate love affairs between Sackville West and her husband, and her lesbian affairs with Virginia Woolf and Violet Trefusis. I suppose we have been about as unfaithful to one another as one well could be from the conventional point of view, yet I swear no two people could love one another more than we do after all these years.
