House Full of Daughters

All families have their myths and historian Juliet Nicolson’s is no different. Here she takes us through seven generations of women, from the nineteenth-century slums of Malaga, the salons of fin-de-siècle Washington DC, an English boarding school during the Second World War, to Chelsea in the 1960s, these women emerge for Juliet as people in their own right, but also as part of who she is and where she has come from.
