High-spirited, beautiful, clannish and adored, the five strikingly different Langhorne sisters were mythologised in the plural long after their separate careers were a matter of history. Their great fame held sway first in the South, in Virginia, then across the rest of America and England.
'The Langhorne Sisters' is not just a study of a family, or an age, it is a living, breathing recreation of a singular way of life. This is also a riveting human drama; a serious and original contribution to the social and political history of the last century.
Contains black and white photographs.
