A good copy.<br/><br/>Both Sackville-West and her husband had same-sex relationships as did some of the Bloomsbury Group of writers and artists with whom they had connections. Her relationship with Virginia Woolf began in 1925 and ended in 1935 reaching its height between 1925-28 which was when Woolf printed this book on her Hogarth Press. Sackville-West loved to travel frequently going to France Spain and to visit Nicolson in Persia. This book was based on her Persia trips these trips were emotionally draining for Woolf who missed Sackville-West intensely. Woolf's novel To the Lighthouse noteworthy for its theme of longing for someone absent was partly inspired by Sackville-West's frequent absences. unknown books
