520 2  "A family memoir that traces the myths, legends, and 
       secrets of seven generations of remarkable women. All 
       families have their myths and legends. For many years 
       Juliet Nicolson accepted hers--the dangerous beauty of her
       flamenco dancing great-great-grandmother Pepita, the 
       flirty manipulation of her great-grandmother Victoria, the
       infamous eccentricity of her grandmother Vita Sackville-
       West, her mother's Tory-conventional background. But then 
       Juliet, a distinguished historian, started to question. As
       she did so, she sifted fact from fiction, uncovering 
       details and secrets long held just out of sight. A House 
       Full of Daughters takes us through seven generations of 
       women. In the nineteenth-century slums of Malaga, the 
       salons of fin-de-siecle Washington D.C., an English 
       boarding school during the Second World War, Chelsea in 
       the 1960s, the knife-edge that was New York City in the 
       1980s, these women emerge for Juliet as people in their 
       own right, but also as part of who she is and where she 
       has come from. A House Full of Daughters is one woman's 
       investigation into the nature of family, memory, and the 
       past. As Juliet finds uncomfortable patterns reflected in 
       these distant and more recent versions of herself, she 
       realizes her challenge is to embrace the good and reject 
       the hazards that have trapped past generations"--
