THE MITFORD GIRLS tells the true story behind the gaiety and frivolity of the six Mitford daughters - and the facts are as sensational as any novel: Nancy, whose bright social existence masked an obsessional doomed love which soured her success; Pam, a countrywoman married to one of the best brains in Europe; Diana, an iconic beauty, who was already married when at 22 she fell in love with Oswald Moseley, the leader of the British fascists; Unity, who romantically in love with Hitler, became a member of his inner circle before shooting herself in the temple when WWII was declared; Jessica, the family rebel, who declared herself a communist in the schoolroom and the youngest sister, Debo, who became the Duchess of Devonshire.This is an extraordinary story of an extraordinary family, containing much new material, based on exclusive access to Mitford archives.Product Identifiers

Brilliant book thoroughly researched and very entertaining to read. Remarkable story of the Mitford sisters.
A family history that has always fascinated me. Beautifully researched and very informative. These highly intelligent sisters went on to become famous all for completely different reasons. A good insight into their childhood which shaped their outlook on life.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
