This story of the remarkably long and happy marriage of Vladimir and Vira Nabokov emphasizes Vira's extraordinary devotion, which manifested itself in ways that were pivotal to Nabokov's work as both a writer and a teacher. The book brings both Nabokovs to life, and provides fascinating revelations about Vladimir's adulteries, Vira's influence on LOLITA, and--most remarkably--her unwavering contentment with her role in his life as chauffeur, teaching assistant, secretary, muse, and steadfast defender.
