Juliet Nicolson: The Book of Revelations

About this episode

Juliet Nicolson discusses her new book exploring the impact of corrosive secrets women have kept and their broader social implications.

We are delighted to have Juliet back on our podcast. Her books have been regular bestsellers at Sandoe’s: The Perfect Summer, A House Full of Daughters, Frostquake, which she spoke about on the podcast in 2020. Her new book looks at the dynamics of corrosive secrets that women have been obliged to keep, how those secrets fit into a broader social context and how exposing them has been a release for many. Her own family is the starting point for her investigation; numerous case studies follow. Interviewed by Johnny de Falbe Edited by Magnus Rena
