'Of course I have no right whatsoever to write down the truth about my life... but I do so urged by a necessity of truthtelling, because there is no living soul who knows the complete truth; here, may be one who knows a section; and there, one who knows another section; but to the whole picture not one is initiated.' (Introduction)
Epigraph:
Of course I have no right whatsoever to write down the truth about my life ... but I do so urged by a necessity of truthtelling, because there is no living soul who knows the complete truth; here, may be one who knows a section; and there, one who knows another section; but to the whole picture not one is initiated.—Vita Sackville-West, Portrait of a Marriage, 1973.
