Description
The Macdonald sisters formed an extraordinary family bond, uniting four remarkable women: Alice, Georgiana, Agnes, and Louisa. As wives and mothers, they created a single family with some of the most influential figures of their time, including poet Rudyard Kipling and Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones. Judith Flanders' biography sheds light on the fluidity of Victorian society, exploring the lives of this remarkable family in the 19th century. Through her research, she reveals the intricate relationships and social dynamics that shaped their experiences. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these four women, whose stories have been largely overlooked until now.
