SUMMARY:Juliet Nicolson
DESCRIPTION:Juliet Nicolson is a British author and journalist known for nonfiction exploring British social history\, family life and postwar culture. A granddaughter of writers Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson\, she combines memoir with historical research. Her acclaimed books include The Great Silence\, About Britain after World War I\, and Frostquake\, on the severe winter of 1962–63 and its impact on British society. \nThe Book of Revelations – Women and Their Secrets\nA fascinating blend of social history and first-person stories looking at women and their secrets – and what they tell us about our changing times. Do you want to know a secret? The average person is keeping thirteen secrets at any one time\, five of which they’ve never shared with a soul. A secret can thrill one person and destroy another; and the deepest ones echo far down the generations. The Book of Revelations is a book about the secrets women keep: the ones they are forced into\, the ones they hold through shame\, and the ones they share. Told through a kaleidoscopic blend of first-person stories and memoir\, from the ‘silent generation’ of women in the 1950s to the influencers of the 2020s\, we witness long-buried family secrets aired at last and the repercussions which occur when women who have been forced to keep quiet find their voice. Finally\, we are compelled to wonder whether women are once again in danger of being silenced by censure\, caution and fear.

SUMMARY:Lottie Moggach and Louisa Treger
DESCRIPTION:Louisa Treger \nA Fatal Love\n\nLottie Moggach\nMrs Pearcey \nwith Jo Durrant \nRuth Ellis was the last woman to be hanged in Britain.  A Fatal Love is the gripping story of her life\, imagined by Louisa Treger\, as Ruth Ellis is awaiting trial for the murder of her lover. \nKitty Carrington\, assistant to Ruth’s trial lawyer\, is determined to ensure that Ruth receives a fair trial.  The two women must navigate secrets\, betrayal and a broken justice system as they try to take control of their own lives. \n‘Both thrilling and seductive\, and yet so sensitively written … it will break many hearts. Brava! What an achievement.’ Essie Fox. \nLouisa Treger has written four novels and contributes regularly to numerous publications. She is also deputy chair of the Oxford Literary Festival. \nCamden\, London\, in 1890.  London is a city of gaslight\, gossip and grisly headlines. Mrs Pearcey tells the story of Hannah\, a young journalist engaged to be married\, who becomes obsessed with her near-neighbour Mrs Pearcey\, accused of a scandalous murder. Unbeknown to her journalist fiancé\, Hannah begins to probe in secret\, discovering details that the investigators have failed to spot\, and realising that the woman bound for the gallows may not be as guilty as the press have branded her. \nIt’s also a brilliant portrait of tabloid journalism in Victorian London\, exploring how the appetite for true crime was just as insatiable as our own today. \nLottie Moggach is a novelist and journalist whose fiction combines psychological tension with sharp social observation. She has written for The Times and Financial Times. Her mother Deborah Moggach came to Cuckfield Book Festival in 2023 and entertained us with her book The Little Black Dress. \nLouisa and Lottie will be talking to Jo Durrant and discussing what drew them to writing about women accused of murder.
