Angelica Garnett, The Unspoken Truth.; Allegra Huston, Love Child: A Memoir of Family Lost and Found.; Imogen Lycett Green
Angelica Garnett grew up within the charmed circle of Bloomsbury. But her childhood was a tangled web of secrets which she tries to unravel and fictionalise in her new book, The Unspoken Truth. Allegra Huston was brought up in both aristocratic bohemia and Hollywood. Following her mother's death when she was only four, she moved from Ireland to LA, cared for by her domineering father, the film director John Huston. But in adolescence she discovered that her background was not all that it seemed. They discuss secrets and lies with Imogen Lycett Green, grand-daughter of Sir John Betjeman. (DeadGoodBooks)… (more)
