Summary

"Poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, distinguished diplomat, politician, and prolific author, enjoyed one of the most remarkable marriages of the century. Chronicled in the best-selling Portrait of a Marriage by their younger son Nigel Nicolson, the relationship between Vita and Harold was unusual and profoundly happy. Charged with remarkable intensity and deep mutual respect, the correspondence between Vita and Harold, selected by Nigel Nicolson from more than ten thousand surviving letters, uncovers the nature of his parents' marriage against the background of fifty tumultuous years that included both world wars."--Jacket
