Every family saga has its ups and downs, its eccentricities and heartbreaks. Julie Nicolson has recounted hers very well with affection and a genuine lack of self-pity, the result being a gentle and very entertaining read.
If you enjoy this, we also recommend one of the author’s earlier titles, [[The Great Silence: 1918-1920 Living in the Shadow of the Great War by Juliet Nicolson|The Great Silence: 1918-1920 Living in the Shadow of the Great War]]. For an account of Vita’s private life, and others, there is [[A Book of Secrets, Illegitimate Daughters, Absent Fathers by Michael Holroyd]], while [[Love Affair: The Memoir of a Forbidden Father-daughter Relationship by Leslie Kenton]] is a frank, disturbing account of an even more dysfunctional family relationship. A fictional three-generation family story is provided by [[Grace and Mary by Melvyn Bragg]].
