<p>'I cannot recommend it highly enough' <b>INDIA KNIGHT</b> * 'I was riveted by every single page' <b>ELIZABETH DAY * </b>'Dazzling and surprising' <b>CLOVER STROUD * </b>'I loved this book' <b>JULIA SAMUEL </b></p><p><b>**AN <i>iNEWS </i>BOOK OF THE YEAR**</b></p><p><b>A beautifully written blend of memoir, first-person stories and social history that uncovers the most enigmatic yet revealing aspect of human behaviour: secrecy</b></p><p>Research says the average person is keeping thirteen secrets at any one time, five of which they've never shared with a soul. 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.</p><p><i>The Book of Revelations </i>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.</p><p>As 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?</p>
