As someone who avidly read all of Nancy's books and also Hons and Rebels in childhood (and still returns to them when struck down with unpleasant colds) it was fascinating to read a different 'take' on the family - the treatment of Unity and her relationship with Nazism and Hitler was particularly fascinating and depicted with a very even handed approach. I found myself wanting to know more about some of the less written about characters - Tom and Pam - and ended very impressed by the author's ability to make such divergent stories so readable.

This book helped start me down the road to Mitford obsession. ( )

Perfect easy read. ( )
