Carefree, revelatory and intimate, this selection of unpublished letters between the six legendary Mitford sisters, compiled by Diana Mitford’s daughter-in-law, is alive with wit, passion and heartbreak.The letters chronicle the social quirks and political upheavals of the twentieth century but also chart the stormy, enduring relationships between the uniquely gifted – and collectively notorious – Mitford sisters. There’s Nancy, the scalding wit and bestselling novelist; Pamela, who craved a quiet country life; Diana, the fascist wife of Sir Oswald Mosley; Unity, whose obsession with Adolf Hitler led to personal tragedy; Jessica, the runaway communist; and Deborah, the socialite who became Duchess of Devonshire.Writing to one another to confide, tease, rage and gossip, the Mitford sisters set out, above all, to amuse. A correspondence of this scope is rare; a collection penned by six born storytellers is irreplaceable.

NANCY MITFORD died in 1973 before she could write an autobiography. But she was one of the great letter-writers of this century, and her sparkling correspondence to her famous family and to a wide circle of brilliant friends sheds an extraordinary light on their lives and the times in which they lived.*'This enormous, rich selection of Nancy Mitford's letters shows that the vitality and peculiarity of this comic genius bubbled up in all her relationships . . . the letters are a trove of perfect one-liners, of fantastical stories confected to entertain the recipient (and the writer), of wincingly accurate assessments . . . She knew that her letters were probably her best work, and this book makes us think she was right.'Independent on Sunday'These letters, vivid, spontaneous and sparkling with gossip, observation and comment, pulse with the authentic flavour of Mitfordspeak . . . Charlotte Mosley's editing of this enthralling correspondence is flawless'Daily Mail'A marvellous book'The Times
