Description

The brilliantly entertaining classic memoir of one of the century's most extraordinary families, The Mitfords.
'Stunning ... fabulously true ... at once touching and wildly funny' Tatler '

The Mitford family is one of the century's most enigmatic, made notorious by Nancy's novels, Diana's marriage to Sir Oswald Mosley, Unity's infatuation with Hitler, Debo's marriage to a duke and Jessica's passionate commitment to communism.

Hons and Rebels is an enchanting and deeply absorbing memoir of an isolated and eccentric upbringing which conceals beneath its witty, light-hearted surface much wisdom and depth of feeling.

'More than an extremely amusing autobiography ... she has evoked a whole generation' Sunday Times
