Harold Nicholson and Vita Sackville-west were a beauty of a couple. Their sons wrote about them in a book called PORTRAIT OF A MARRIAGE. (

3247. Vita: The Life of V. Sackville-West, by Victoria Glendinning (read Oct 1, 1999) This won the 1983 Whitbread Award for Biography. I found it very impresive, even tho Vita Sackville-West, wife of Harold Nicolson, is not a favorite person of mine. I only read her The Edwardians and was not overly impressed. But I thought this was a superlative biography. (
