Secrets can thrill, but they are just as likely to torment; and the deepest ones echo far down the generations. They are private, but they also tell us a great deal about our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Book of Revelations explores the changing nature of the secrets held by three generations of women. It unlocks a period of significant transformation, from the restrictions just after the Second World War, through the emancipation of the 1960s and 1970s, to the opportunities and dangers women meet online today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs we travel through time, we encounter deeply moving first-person stories, rich social history and Juliet Nicolson’s own experiences of secrecy. We witness long-buried family secrets shared at last, their keepers set free. Finally, we are forced to wonder whether, after a steady upwards curve, women are once again in danger of being curtailed by censure, caution and fear. But could learning from the secrets of the past help protect our future?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobham Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55915075699074,"sku":"9781784745318","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4567\/2367\/files\/9781784745318.jpg?v=1762171940","url":"https:\/\/www.cobhambooks.pro\/products\/9781784745318","provider":"Cobham Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
