review 1: Beautifully written ( I did get a bit bogged down in the history of the land), but wonderful account of the issues facing the restoration. As various sides struggled to achieve their "vision" of the garden, it became clear that politics and accomplishing change are fraught with the same problems at every stage. The brief chapter on Vita Sackville West and Harold Nicolson's life in the garden made me want to read more.
review 2: This book made me want to see Sissinghurst again. I admire Adam Nicolson for pressing ahead with his ideas in spite of resistance from the National Trust. Keep it up!I adapted the visit of QE1 to Sissinghurst in 1573 (or was it 2?) to a piece I was writing about my neighborhood's annual home tour. Thank you, Adam, for including that hi... morestory and the rest of the history of your beautiful family home and garden. less
