Breathtaking courage and honesty....bravo Juliet, we need brave people like you to show us that honesty sets us free.

Just finished Juliet’s book A House Full of Daughters which this video is about. My fascination with this family started when I first visited Sissinghurst in 1990’s. The book moves at a good pace and is very interesting. A worthwhile read and brave to lay open bare the family history, warts and all.

Wow, thank you so much for uploading this video, I didn't know about this talk... Juliet seems really lovely, it's so great to have her talk about Vita and her own family.

This is very nice!! Don't be ashamed of your nose. Vita was a beautiful woman and had a beautiful nose.
