The captivating letters by the most idiosyncratic, witty and irrepressible of the notorious Mitford sisters.
Here's what readers are saying:
'It is both laugh-out-loud funny and enthralling' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'A wonderful record of a remarkable woman' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'A total page turner ... kept me enthralled' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Decca's letters reveal a remarkable life - from her childhood as the daughter of a British peer to her scandalous elopement to the Spanish Civil War with her cousin, to her life in the USA, where she married a radical lawyer. The Mitford girls included Diana (who married the British fascist leader Oswald Mosley), Unity (who was close to Adolf Hitler) and Debo (who became the Duchess of Devonshire). Decca shocked them all when she joined the American Communist Party. Her letters are the stories of a century: gossip and politics, war and the poignancy of personal struggles. They are also a record of her never-ending quest for social justice. This is a fascinating collection that reveals to us intimately the most ebullient Mitford of them all.
