About this title

Synopsis

Nigel Nicolson grew up in the world of Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsberries, one of three sons of the uncoventional parents, MP Harold Nicolson and his author and bi-sexual wife, V Sackville-West. In these memoirs he offers a fresh perspective on their marriage as seen from the viewpoint of one of their children, how his twenties were, like others of his generation, subsumed by the second world war ( he served in the Grenadier Guards in North Africa )
