520 1 $a"This is the story of a close, loving family splintered by the violent ideologies of Europe between the wars.
520 8 $aJessica was a Communist; Debo became the Duchess of Devonshire; Nancy, the eldest, was one of the best-selling novelists of her day; the ethereally beautiful Diana, married to the Fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley and imprisoned without trial through most of World War II, was the most hated woman in England; Unity Valkyrie, born in the mining town of Swastika, Alaska, would become obsessed with Adolf Hitler, whom she met on at least 140 occasions.
520 8 $aWhen war was declared between England and Germany, she shot herself in the head." "The Mitfords had style and presence, and were extremely gifted: four would go on to write best-selling books. Above all, they were funny - hilariously and often mercilessly so. In this wise, evenhanded, and generous book, Mary Lovell captures the vitality and extraordinary drama of a family that took the twentieth century by the throat and became, in some respects, its victims."--BOOK JACKET.
