The compelling biography of the beautiful, talented Garman sisters & the glittering, romantic era in which they lived. Each of the seven Garman sisters were strikingly beautiful, artistic & wild. Born around the turn of the nineteenth century, most of the siblings were to become involved in the radical literary & political circles of British life between the First & Second World Wars. Their morals were unconventional: bisexuality, unfaithfulness & illegitimate children were a matter of course. Nevertheless they were high-minded & intensely loyal. They were the last muses: women who were prepared to sideline their own talent, friendships, material comforts
- even their own children
- in order to beguile & inspire the men they loved. Cressida Connolly's family biography delves into the lives of three of the sisters in intense & revealing detail. Kathleen Garman, the father's favourite, ran away to London to study music. She was spotted by the American sculptor Jacob Epstein, who promptly fell in love with her, & remained his muse until his death. They had three children, she was shot in the shoulder by his first wife & she finally became Lady Epstein in 1955. Mary Garman came to London with Kathleen & studied art at the Slade. She married poet Roy Campbell, who was to become the scourge of the literary establishment by espousing General Franco's side during the Spanish Civil War. Finally there was Lorna Garman, the youngest & most beautiful of all the family. At sixteen she married the wealthy Ernest Wishart, a landowner, communist & founder of the socialist publishing house Laurence & Wishart, who spent most of his life turning a blind eye to his wife's infidelities. Lorna was the love of Laurie Lee's life & they had a daughter. Lucian Freud painted several pictures for her. Through Cressida Connolly's skilfull retelling of these remarkable lives, we get an intimate portrait of a golden age of romance, passion & art that is an original, beguiling read.

The Ration Book Olympics

Clare Balding looks back at the last time that the Olympic Games came to London in 1948. Three years after the end of the Second World War, Britain was still gripped by austerity. Rationing was still in force, severe bomb damage was still much in evidence and no new sports facilities could be built. Visiting athletes were put up in schools and RAF camps. Yet the Games were a resounding success and actually made a profit. Clare Balding meets athletes who competed in 1948, including cyclist Tommy Godwin, who won two bronze medals, and Dorothy Manley, who won silver in the athletics. She also talks to Roger Bannister who saved the day for the British team in the opening ceremony. The programme also includes fascinating voices from the archives, including Dutch sprinter Fanny
Blankers-Koen, who won four gold medals.
