In the small hours of the morning of 3 June 1914, a woman and her
husband were found dead in a sparsely furnished apartment in Paris.
It was only when the identity of the couple was revealed in the
English press a fortnight later that the full story emerged. The
man, Henry Sackville-West, had shot himself minutes after the death
of his wife from cancer; but Henry's suicidal despair had been
driven equally by the failure of his claim to be the legitimate son
of Lord Sackville and heir to Knole. The Disinherited reveals the
secrets and lies at the heart of an English dynasty, unravelling
the parallel lives of Henri's four illegitimate siblings: in
particular his older sister, Victoria, who on becoming Lady
Sackville and mistress of Knole, by marriage, consigned her
brothers and sisters to lives of poverty and disappointment.
