Annotation
Description Aristocrat, literary celebrity, ‘Rose Queen’, devoted wife, lesbian, recluse, iconoclast – Vita Sackville-West was many things, but she was never straightforward. Perhaps best known as the creator, with her husband Harold Nicholson, of the gardens at Sissinghurst Castle, now the most visited gardens in Britain, she also made her mark as a prolific and accomplished writer. Images of Vita – striking, poised, aristocratic, and intellectual – remain iconic even now. Yet behind the mask, a more complicated Vita lay. Her life is re-told here in a dazzling new biography. Drawing on sources from archives across the globe as well as Vita's own prolific written output, Dennison traces the inspiration, triumphs and contradictions of Vita’s extraordinary life.
