Nicolson, Juliet

Opis

All families have their myths and Juliet Nicolson's was no different: her flamenco dancing great-great-grandmother Pepita, the flirty manipulation of her great-grandmother Victoria, the infamous eccentricity of her grandmother Vita, her mother's Tory-conventional background. This book takes us through seven generations of women.

Recenzje

Shocking and brave... Nicolson's anger, tenderness and insight have resulted in an exceptionally moving book Miranda Seymour Daily Telegraph
