Yet in the published diary, Nin did not lay bare her true self. She instead constructed a carefully stylized image of the woman the world knew as "Anais" while keeping her inner self hidden.

Fitch reveals, among other things, that behind Nin's coquetry was the desperate yearning of an abused and abandoned child.
