'Family Secrets' offers a sweeping account of what families hid in the past, and why. Both a story of keeping secrets and how they were revealed, it journeys from the frontier of empire and the families of British adventurers to the wood-panelled chambers of the divorce court, where a family's disgrace was dissected for public view.
