Publisher's 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 )
