Alice Kipling, Georgina Burne-Jones, Agnes Poynter and Louisa Baldwin.
Behind every great man is a great woman . . . 'A Circle Of Sisters' tells the story of the Macdonald women who became the wives of Edward Burne-Jones and Edward Poynter and the mothers to Stanley Baldwin and Rudyard Kipling.
The book traces their development from young women to wives and mothers of the British Establishment. Describing their childhood in Birmingham and the Macdonald's move to the filthy, busy London of the 1850s, Flanders paints a detailed picture of a domestic world full of incident and accident, thrown into relief against the wider context of Victorian and Edwardian society.
