<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is the story of a close, loving family splintered by the violent ideologies of Europe between the wars. Jessica was a Communist; Debo became the Duchess of Devonshire; Nancy was one of the bestselling novelists of her day; the beautiful Diana was the most hated woman in England; and Unity Valkyrie, born in Swastika, Alaska, would become obsessed with Adolf Hitler.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A captivating read.--Amy Strong<br><br>A dazzling cast of characters....
