Today’s guest is author Juliet Nicolson. I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Juliet in her Sussex home shortly after the release of her latest work - The Book of Revelations: Women and Their Secrets From the 1950s to the Present Day. As I’ve found with all of my favourite writers - from Edward St Aubyn to Joelle Taylor - Juliet has an incredible gift for balancing a sense of playfulness and wit while delving deep into the most serious topic with insight and sensitivity.
We were so deep in conversation that we never got round to fully imagining her dream library space. Our conversation ranged from discussing her memories of exploring Sissinghurst Castle as a child, and going into her grandmother Vita Sackville-West’s private library for the first time, to her collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld, and to her latest work and the personal experiences that inspired The Book of Revelations.
