Description
The Sisters: A Family Divided by War and Ideology The story of the Mitford family is one of contrasts, where style and presence coexisted with violent ideologies and tragic consequences. This family, marked by their remarkable gifts and a wicked sense of humour, was torn apart by the tumultuous events of the 20th century. Mary Lovell's biography offers a wise and generous portrayal of a family that was both fascinating and flawed. Through the lives of Jessica, Debo, Nancy, Diana, and Unity, Lovell captures the drama and vitality of a family that was shaped by the tumultuous events of Europe between the wars.
