"Fascinating, the way all great family stories are fascinating."—Robert Gottlieb, New York Times Book ReviewThis is the story of a close, loving family splintered by the violent ideologies of Europe between the world wars. Jessica was a Communist; Debo became the Duchess of Devonshire; Nancy was one of the best-selling novelists of her day; beautiful Diana married the Fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley; and Unity, a close friend of Hitler, shot herself in the head when England and Germany declared war.The Mitfords had style and presence and were remarkably gifted.
