Synopsis

This is the story of the Mitford sisters, a close-knit family whose lives were dramatically shaped by the tumultuous ideologies of interwar Europe. From a Communist to a Duchess, a best-selling novelist to a woman imprisoned for her Fascist ties, and another obsessed with Adolf Hitler, their individual paths reflect the era's profound divisions. Mary Lovell captures the vitality and extraordinary drama of this family, who both influenced and were victims of the twentieth century.
