A House Full of Daughters (A memoir of seven generations)

By Juliet Nicolson

A very intimate look into the lives of seven generations of a famous family to which the author belongs, focusing on the daughters of the family. I was not familiar with the family, and was solely attracted to the book because of the cover and the intriguing title. It was nice to learn about the family, and through it, about parts of history of England and the US in the time frame presented. It was also interesting to see repetitions and breaks from repetition in the different generations' acts and behavior, and the progress made in society throughout the century and a half of the story.
