Portrait of a Marriage by Nigel Nicolson

'Of course i have no right whatsoever to write down the truth about my life, involving as it naturally does the lives of so many people...'

So Wrote Vita Sackville-West in July 1920. But write it down she did, and when in 1973 her son Nigel took the decision to publish Vita's account of her passionate love affair with Violet Trefusis along with his own reflections on his parents' marriage, he feared he might be prosecuted for obscenity. Though attitudes have since changed, Vitas account of a forbidden relationship which nearly destroyed her marriage to the writer and diplomat Harold Nicolson is still both fascinating and disturbing.
