Hugely enjoyable

I read this after reading Jessica Mitford's letters. I was intrigued by her and the Mitford family and this autobiography of her early years is a perfect companion to the letters.
If someone told you this was a novel you would probably believe it, very easy to read and full of strange, weird and wonderful characters. It's easy to think that this is some work of fiction. If you're new to Jessica (Decca) Mitford, I would recommend this as a starting point and then follow it with her letters. My next Mitford-related purchase will be the letters between the six sisters when it's released in paperback.

A fascinating and informative biography

This biography of Jessica Mitford tells the true story of a family heavily satirised in Nancy Mitford's novels. Part comedy, part history book and part love story - the complexities of the time are fully explored including the role of Nazism and Communism in real people's lives
