<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The MacDonald sisters started life in the lower-middle classes, denied the advantages of education and the expectation of social advancement. Yet, as wives and mothers, they connected a famous painter, a president of the Royal Academy, a prime minister, and the uncrowned poet laureate of the Empire.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Macdonalds were both of their own time and yet our contemporaries. In the personal and social journeys they made they were creatures of an exceptional moment in history, a social drama set in a privileged time and place, while in the ordinary dynamics of their relationships with each other they were us. The dynamism of family life mirrored the times. From the birth of Alice soon after Queen Victoria came to the throne, to their dispersal at the end of a long Edwardian summer, the Macdonalds were a prime example of the fluidity and social mobility that characterized the age.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Drive[s] a four-horse chariot through the nineteenth century.... I have enjoyed this book more than I can say."<br>
