Add a CommentFascinating lives of five aristocratic sisters who grew up in a country mansion in the Downton era.
My best read of the year so far. The sister's lives are fascinating and the book is both a romp through history, and a reminder of the enduring bonds of family. Romance, rivalry, betrayal, and forgiveness - it's all here. I couldn't put it down. Lori
I didn't want this book to end. it is an engrossing look at the lives of the (notorious? amazing?) Mitford sisters, but also gives a sweepinbg look at England throughout most of the 20th century, albeit from the perspective of members of the upper/upper-middle class. Plus, there's the frisson that always accompanies reading other people's mail (even though it's sanctioned!).
