The Book of Revelations

With incredible intimacy and deep compassion, Juliet Nicolson has woven together the stories that make our lives, but which so often remain hidden... This is a dazzling and surprising book, and I left it changed by the experience of reading it

A gripping exploration of the secrets women keep. Raw, revealing and deeply human, The Book of Revelations is a bold ode to womanhood, love, and freedom

MIREILLE HARPER, author of Timelines from Black History

An amazing achievement - teeming with life, vivid history rolling alongside personal stories. It has a thrilling energy, and the great release and relief of telling the truth and being heard. A precious testament to sisterhood and trust

Hannah Dawson, editor of The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing

Juliet Nicolson is a hugely gifted social historian, one who never fails to startle a gripped reader into a new understanding of familiar ground. Here, exploring the impact of secret-keeping on the courageous, troubled and often heroic women who trusted Juliet to tell their extraordinary stories for the first time, she has once again found a marvellous subject and made it all her own
