Description
"The ill-fated love affair between Violet Trefusis and Vita Sackville-West, first documented in Portrait of a Marriage by Vita's son Nigel Nicolson, ended in 1921 with the forced return of the two women to their respective husbands and families. From their childhood friendship through the dramatic years of 1918-1921 when the lovers made a series of escapes to live out a life of Bohemian freedom together abroad, they wrote to each other constantly. Violet's husband destroyed Vita's letters from this daring period, but Violet's letters were preserved. Revealed within these remarkable lines are the intensity of Violet's love and the painful price she eventually paid for it."--Back Cover.
