About “Facades”

Façades is a biography that details the lives of Edith, Osbert, and Sacheverell Sitwell, aristocrats who emerged from a privileged but loveless youth. The book explores their collective and individual influence on the English avant-garde during the 1920s, as well as their involvement in controversy, with attention given to both private and public aspects of their lives and their intersections with figures such as T.S. Eliot and Gertrude Stein.
