In 'Hidden Lives: A Family Memoir', Margaret Forster embarks on a quest to unravel the secrets her grandmother took to the grave in 1936. Where had she spent the first 23 years of her life? Who was the mysterious woman in black who visited her shortly before her death? How had she borne living so close to an illegitimate daughter without acknowledging her? This search leads Forster to examine her family's past, exploring the lives of her grandmother, her mother, and her own. The result is a moving and evocative account that reflects on the changes in women's lives over the past century.
