Jen’s Reviews > Portrait of a Marriage: Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson > Status Update

I don’t know how to feel about Vita and Harold, but their son Nigel who compiled and narrates this biography is clear-eyed and funny. Of an overwrought and silly excerpt from Behind the Mask he says: “It’s a wildly romantic and foolish book.” I’m only reading this because Sissinghurst made me drunk with admiration of their horticultural achievement. And up with sex positivity.
