What is the main conflict in Speak, Memory: An Autobiography Revisited by Vladimir Nabokov?

Speak, Memory is divided into 15 chapters that follow Nabokov’s life chronologically through his early adulthood. Much of the book is spent defining the golden years of his opulent childhood—years that Nabokov has many times described as “perfect.” In the initial chapters Nabokov notes in list-like fashion significant family members, teachers, tutors and governesses from his childhood and through the chronological list breaks off in tangential asides that lead to stories and moments remembered.
