Type the word Mitford into my blog and you will see many posts on Mitford related titles. There has also been a streaming series on Britbox about the family. And, of course, many other titles that I have not read.
It is easy to see why the Mitfords fascinate readers. These sisters included a Fascist, a Communist, a passionate lover of Hitler, a Duchess, a novelist, and a socialite.
Diana married a Guinness but then fell in love with married Oswald Moseley. Nancy was not too lucky in love. Decca (Jessica) had a first true love but faced tragedy. And then…there was what happened to Unity.There was also a brother who died too young. And, here I am only noting some of the events in these sisters’ lives.
What makes this book different is that it is a graphic novel. I enjoyed the vision of the author and the way in which she brought everyone to life. While this title is quite long, the pages fly by.
The author also reflects on what the Mitfords meant to her. This was interesting but not, to me, as engaging as the rest of this title.
Even those who do not normally read graphic titles may well want to give this book a look. I enjoyed it very much.
