The Book of Revelations

Juliet Nicolson

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 13 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 secrets we keep inside reflect the conventions and taboos of the world outside. As women traditionally sit at the heart of family life, their secrets can open a unique window onto wider society. 'The Book of Revelations' unlocks a period of significant transformation for women, from the restrictions just after WWII, through the emancipation of the 1960s and 1970s, to the opportunities and dangers women meet online today.
