Vladimir Nabokov's life and work cannot be understood without the history of his family, both the one he was born into and the one he found. The publication of a wide range of personal documents offers a new perspective on the writer, his family life, and the people close to him. This book draws on previously unpublished letters from Véra Nabokova to Nabokov's sister, Elena Sikorskaya. Through this correspondence, after Nabokov left for America with his wife and son and until their return to Europe, the two branches of the family maintained contact and were aware of each other's major events. In addition to the letters, the book also includes previously unknown autobiographical memoirs by Elena Sikorskaya and her poems, preserved in a single manuscript. Together with rare photographs, these testimonies reveal details of the Nabokov family history and create a vivid portrait of the two most important and close women in the writer's life.
