Violet to Vita  -  Mitchell A. Leaska & John Phillips (ed.)

The Letters of Violet Trefusis to Vita Sackville-West, 1910-21

KORTE INHOUD

The tempestuous affair between Violet Trefusis and Vita Sackville-West was first disclosed by Vita's son, Nigel Nicolson, in 'Portrait of a Marriage'. In a series of ecstatic and scandalous escapes, the lovers led their desperate husbands and tyrannical mothers a chaotic Bohemian dance from London to the Continent. Violet's letters contain some of the best writing of the later novelist, by turns precocious, pleading, reproachful, scholarly, crafty, reckless, passionate - and a moving testament to her love.
