Heritage by V. Sackville-West

"Heritage" by V. Sackville-West is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds through the reflections of a character named Malory as he recalls his time spent in a small Italian village and his relationship with a companion named Malory, who shares poignant stories from his life, particularly his connection to a man named Oliver Pennistan and the complexities of love, heritage, and identity. The opening of "Heritage" introduces readers to the rustic beauty and intimacy of a village in the Apennines where Malory and his companion are studying Italian.
