Rupert Brooke was said to be in love with all four of them; D. H. Lawrence thought they were frankly 'wrong'; Virginia Woolf found them curiously difficult to read. In this intimate, sweeping biography, Sarah Watling brings the sisters in from the margins, tracing lives that span colonial Jamaica, the bucolic life of Victorian progressives, the frantic optimism of Edwardian Cambridge, the bleakness of two world wars, and a host of evolving philosophies for life over the course of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNoble Savages\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling portrait of sisterhood in all its complexities, which rediscovers the lives of four extraordinary women within the varied fortunes of the feminism of their times, while illuminating the battles and ethics of biography itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Random House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781784707170\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.49","offer_id":47917033554097,"sku":"SB-1784707171-C3","price":1.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1784707171.jpg?v=1789530171","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/noble-savages-the-olivier-sisters","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
