Sackville-West looks back at the dark side of English history, as he brings to life the story of his famous family. Henry Sackville-West shot himself in Paris in 1914, minutes after the death of his wife from cancer, and his suicidal despair was also driven by the failure of his claim to be the legitimate son of Lord Sackville and heir to Knole. Rober Sackville-West unravels the parallel lives of Henry's 4 illegitimate siblings. From the author of "Inheritance".
