Their successful marriage which allowed for affairs with same-sex partners was later documented in their son Nigel's book, Portrait of a Marriage (1973). Vita and Virginia Woolf had a singular intense and deep relationship over many years. Woolf's fantasy-biography Orlando is based on Vita's life and work.
