A family memoir that traces the myths, legends, and secrets of seven generations of remarkable womenAll families have their myths and legends. For many years Juliet Nicolson accepted hersthe dangerous beauty of her flamenco dancing greatgreatgrandmother Pepita, the flirty manipulation of her greatgrandmother Victoria, the infamous eccentricity of her grandmother Vita SackvilleWest, her mothers Toryconventional background. But then Juliet, a distinguished historian, started to question. As she did so, she sifted fact from fiction, uncovering details and secrets long held just out of sight.A House Full of Daughters takes us through seven generations of women. In the nineteenthcentury slums of Malaga, the salons of findesiecle Washington D.C., an English boarding school during the Second World War, Chelsea in the 1960s, the knifeedge that was New York City in the 1980s, 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.A House Full of Daughters is one womans investigation into the nature of family, memory, and the past. As Juliet finds uncomfortable patterns reflected in these distant and more recent versions of herself, she realizes her challenge is to embrace the good and reject the hazards that have trapped past generations.
