If you’re looking for the story of Sally Horner, aka the Real Life Lolita, keep looking or be prepared to pick through this book to read the 50ish pages that covers her.
This book was originally a magazine article and reading shows how it was stretched to become a book. Instead of what I expected: the story of Sally Horner and her short tragic life, as well as what little is known about her time in captivity. What I got is a book with that, then filled in with a biography of Nabokov and his family, how long and part of the method of how his most famous book was written, and mini biographies of several other people involved in the original case.
