Publisher's Synopsis
Sylvia Townsend Warner created a self-portrait in the diaries she kept from 1927 until her death in 1978. In this selection, she writes of her friends and colleagues, her writing and music, her pets, and her delight in gardens and housewifery. Above all, this is an account of her great love affair with Valentine Ackland, an affair that brought both anguish and liberation.
