Description

The legendary lesbian romance between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West showcased in intimate detail. After they met in 1922, Vita Sackville-West, a British novelist married to foreign diplomat Harold Nicolson, and Virginia Woolf began an intense and passionate relationship that lasted until Woolf's death in 1941. In their correspondence the two women left no aspect of their lives untouched: daily dramas, gossip, the strains and pleasures of writing, and joy in each other's company. Features 500 letters and 25 never-before-published photographs.
