Gorgeous Gossip
Inspired by our Author of the Week we find out, can you keep a secret? Josephine and Donna discuss are secrets a good thing or a bad thing?
AUTHOR OF THE WEEK – Deborah Cohen – FAMILY SECRETS
Deborah Cohen is an American historian who specialises in social history. Her latest book is FAMILY SECRETS: Living with Shame from the Victorians to the Present Day. On a Liverpool platform a heartbroken mother hands over her bastard child for adoption. In an Edinburgh town house a grandmother frets that the darkening shadow on her charge’s upper lip will give away her Eurasian heritage. Or a Cotwolds vicar who chronicles his sexual longings for other men and banks his diary in a vault, sewed up in calico and wrapped up in parchment.
Drawing upon her own research Deborah offers sweeping and often surprising accounts of how shame has changed over the last 2 centuries.
