For Sylvia - an Honest Account

Ackland, Valentine

For over 40 years, Valentine Ackland was Sylvia Townsend Warner's companion and closest friend. Also a writer and poet, she left behind this brief autobiographical essay. It is frank regarding her lesbian relationships, and unconsummated marriage, a disappointment redeemed by her love for Sylvia.
