"Heritage" by V. Sackville-West is a novel written in the early 20th century.

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. As Malory reflects on his time there, he recounts a deeper story told by Malory, focusing on the themes of love and personal struggle.
