About The Book of Revelations
How have secrets changed over the generations, and what does that tell us about ourselves and our world?
In her intimate new book, bestselling social historian Juliet Nicolson uncovers one of the most enigmatic yet revealing aspects of human behaviour.
According to a leading American psychotherapist, most of us are keeping thirteen secrets at any one time. Secrets can thrill, but they are just as likely to torment, and the deepest ones echo far down the generations.
The Book of Revelations unlocks a period of significant transformation for women, from the restrictions after the Second World War, through the emancipation of the 1960s and 1970s, to the opportunities and dangers women meet online today.
Travel through time and discover deeply moving stories. From long-buried family secrets to secrets that have sparked change, still felt today.
