Her life is re-told here in a dazzling new biography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Vita Sackville-West was a woman who defied categorisation. She was the dispossessed girl whose lonely childhood at Knole inspired enduring feats of imagination, the celebrated author and poet, the adored and affectionate wife whose marriage included passionate homosexual affairs (most famously with Virginia Woolf ), and the recluse who found in nature and her garden at Sissinghurst Castle solace from the contradictions of her extraordinary life. In this dazzling new biography, Matthew Dennison traces these complexities, depicting a prolific, radical, sensitive and uncompromising figure in all her depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43697308762156,"sku":"9780007486984","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780007486984_52fa1ca8-e0a8-44b9-8870-cb8274793899.jpg?v=1759666436","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780007486984","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
