Nine personalities have their say in this biography. Nine basically decent people, though a couple went down paths we can only find reprehensible now. This is an even-handed biography, and it focuses on the personal rather than the bigger political scene. However I may think Unity had rocks in her head for adoring Hitler, Mary Lovell reminds me that fascism had a lot of fans at the time and could be mistaken for nationalism or simply anti-communism (which was much mistrusted by the Mitfords' genteel class). This isn't an excuse, it is a reason. You can't hope to understand someone until you explore why they may have done something.Unfortunately for the Mitford girls, their father refused to educate them further than a finishing school, though a couple of them begged. To be energetic, intelligent and bored can make for some interesting choices, which certainly makes for interesting reading.The mores of the time are shown by the story of Decca's dancing classes. She was 9 years old: "In the summer of 1926 to Decca's delight - she was always trying to get away from home - she was allowed to join dancing classes held in the homes of neighbours.... Decca, dressed in organza party frock and cashmere shawl, was taken to classes by Nanny every Wednesday. This pleasant occupation came to an abrupt end when she took the opportunity between dances to tell some of her contemporaries how babies were conceived and born. 'The telling was a great success,' she recalled. 'particularly as I couldn't help making up a few embellishments as I went along.' A week or so later, Syndey [Decca's Mother] sent for her, having received complaints from parents that their children were disturbed by what Decca had told them..... Decca wrote... 'The enormity of my ill-advised act... was such that years later, when I was a debutante of seventeen, I learned from an older cousin that two young men of the neightbourhood were still forbidden to associate with me.' "And that was just the start of the trouble the unrepentant Decca delighted in. But for all that the sisters occasionally looked for trouble, they also sometimes seemed to just drift into controversy. Their social class gave them wide access to movers and shakers, their beauty insured that they were always news.The last Mitford sister alive is the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, best known as the chatelaine of Chatsworth, one of the most beautiful manor houses in England. One of the last stories in the book is how she and her husband saved Chatsworth as a family estate, when so many big houses were lost to estate and wartime taxes.I don't read a lot of biographies, but I'm glad I picked this up. Very interesting reading of an era soon to become ancient history.Happy Reader
There is so much story here, so much to tell, it would seem impossible to write a book, to decide what to leave out. The author surely could have written a book ten times longer with much less effort. The evenhandedness in telling the tales of the different sisters must have been a challenge too. Nazism, communism, fascism. The sisters embodied history. I felt outraged more than once while reading. The evil of Jessica, the personal level evil of trying to destroy her mother's peaceful old age, of never talking to her father again, perfectly nice people who never did anyone any wrong, least of all Jessica, is a very fitting metaphor for the evil of communism/leftist liberalism. She hated her cousin Churchill who fought the nazis with all he had, and loved Stalin who sanctioned and enabled Hitler's war on Western Europe, and the murder of the Jewish people. But the author just tells the tale, never preaching one way or the other, not even about Hitler, not even Jessica. Amazing job she has done.
I realize this is a popular book, but I just could not get into it. It seems the first hundred pages or so are filled with meandering accounts of the sisters as they approached adulthood. It's hard to follow the story and really connect with each character, particularly since the narrative is so disorganized. I've read other books based on stories from this historic period that have been far more interesting.
An interesting book especially for British readers who know better the inside of english history. These girls were very talented and it is very interesing knowing how their lives developed and which role they had in the everyday history of England.Beside the above it is nice to follow the developments of an English aristocratic family in those days prewar. I enjoyed the book. It was something different though the writing style is a bit boring,but the lives of these girls was certainly not boring. I recomend it to all readers interested in history.
Bringing to life all the complex and shifting relationships this family had with each other and society was an amazing feat for the author. Iï¸ am planning to seek out literature published by each of the girls because of this fascinating multi biography! Each one was so different yet so alike. My only problem was that since I had to read the book over the course of two months I kept forgetting who did what with whom! It is a remarkable book and sheds a new light on several important historical figures.
I did not think I'd like this type of biographic literature, but it was fantabolous. I enjoyed every paragraph. There are many pictures in the front of the book. While reading and after reading I perused them. It was rather onerous going back and forth like that on the kindle. I guess it would have been better (for me anyway) if they had been tucked into the book itself in the appropriate time areas talked about.
The book is well written, and is a decent companion to the Letters Between Six Sisters edited by Charlotte Mosley. It isn't a terribly detailed history, however and not equally balanced as far as information about each sister. Jessica (Decca) and Diana, whom the author interviewed and, in the case of the latter also met, are given a lot more space than the others. She covers Unity's "Hitler Years" of course, but otherwise we learn very little that is new about Unity. Likewise, Deborah (Debo) and Pam get scanty coverage, and even Nancy is regulated almost to the background. Lovell also occasionally doesn't follow up on information that she presents - for example, she makes a point of saying the Diana's husband, Oswald Mosley, lost a huge amount of money on a radio venture, and recounts his failure to reenter politics after the war; she also describes, though, the Mosleys moving from one lovely home to another, redecorating "with Diana's usual flair..." but doesn't explain where the money came from to support this lifestyle. Overall, however, the book is a good general reference and sources are well documented.
