This 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 mercilessly gifted. Above all, they were funny-hilariously and mercilessly so. In this wise, evenhanded, and generous book, Mary Lovell captures the vitality and drama of a family that took the twentieth century by storm and became, in some respects, its victims.
