Hons and Rebels

I read Jessica Mitford's Hons and Rebels last week and really was interested by the Mitford sisters. One, Unity, was an intimate of Hitlers, another, Diana, married Walter Mosley, a British Fascist, Nancy Mitford was a novelist and Jessica ran off with a Communist to fight in the Spanish Civil War. She later on wrote The American Way of Death exposing the American funeral industry. The book is a rather quick account of their eccentric childhoods, parents and adolescence. I got rather overexcited by the whole thing and ordered the Mitford Sisters which just got here in the mail. It looks rather large and I'm not sure if my interest will be sustained throughout the weight of the book.
