Journal of a Wife: The Early Diaries of Anais Nin, 1923 – 1927

Anais Nin achieved international recognition with the publication of her "Journals". This book is a record of the years from 1923 to 1927 and covers the early part of her marriage to Hugh Guiler, beginning with their eventful stay in New York, where she met Henry Miller. Before long they moved to Paris, a place that was to have a profound effect upon her. For Nin it was a struggle towards maturity and self-knowledge, gradually overcoming what she saw as her puritan instincts. French culture was both shocking and stimulating to her and at home with her husband she enjoyed the domesticity.

Softcover. Some creasing of spine, indicative of having been read but binding remains tight and overall this book remains in good+ condition with clean, unmarked pages throughout which are free from notes and underlining.
