The Mitford Affair tells the story of author Nancy Mitford and her sisters Diana and Unity. We learn about their lives during the crucial period between the World Wars as Hitler is coming to power.
Reading about Unity's devotion to Hitler as well as Diana's actions and the attitudes of so many at that time was difficult, knowing what we know today, but I thought the author did a magnificent job of portraying that time. Seeing how politics divided the Mitford family only further serves to illustrate how so many must have felt at that time.
I always appreciate how Marie Benedict is able to bring historical figures to vivid life and provide us a glimpse into what their lives were like.
