When Lovat Dickson first came to London in 1929, Una Troubridge and Radclyffe Hall were, he remembered, 'very unusual looking. Una with her monocle, and both of them smoking little green cigars. " In 1963 Lady Troubridge died, leaving Lovat Dickson the copyrights to Radclyffe Hall's books. Six years later, with the discovery of a file of letters and nineteen volumes of Una's diaries, Lovat Dickson was moved to begin writing the biography with which his legacy has implicitly charged him: an intimate record of these two women's lives together.
