Plot summary
Vita Sackville-West moves through 1920s London society as an author and a rule-breaker, chafing against her dismissive mother, Lady Sackville, and the duties her marriage to the MP Harold Nicolson asks of her. The Bloomsbury Set, a circle of artists, writers and politicians who ignore convention, offers an escape, and its center is Virginia Woolf. Vita is intrigued by her reserve. Leonard Woolf distrusts the socialite who has suddenly appeared among them, but Virginia argues that the Hogarth Press, the couple's publishing house, should take Vita's next book. Admiration between the two writers turns into something more, though their upbringings sit at opposite ends of the social scale.
