Books Without Borders :: Mitfords

This is essentially as it sounds, a book of the letters the Mitford sisters exchanged through their lives.
I have only dipped into it, which is the joy of it really since it's a huge book and not the sort of thing you just sit and read.

Excerpt from wikip.
Mitford Sisters
In the 20th century the family achieved contemporary notoriety for their controversial and stylish lives as young people, and later for their very public political divisions between communist and fascist. The six daughters of the family were known collectively as the Mitford sisters. Nancy and Jessica became well-known writers and Deborah managed one of the most successful stately homes in England. Jessica and Deborah both married nephews of prime ministers, Winston Churchill and Harold Macmillan respectively. In addition, Deborah and Diana also married wealthy aristocrats.

My own interest is that Mum lent me one of Nancy's books and although presented as fiction it drew heavily on her experiance of life and was a fascinating glimpse of their lives. Anyway, as biography and similar go, well worth a look.
