SynopsisA portrait of the Mitford sisters follows Jessica, a communist; Debo, the Duchess of Devonshire; Nancy, a best-selling novelist; Diana, who was the most hated woman in England; and Unity, who was obsessed with Adolf Hitler.
Eccentric brilliant family, they touched all bases..they were connected with influential people in England. Although "uneducated" in the technical sense, two were witty writers, two were flamboyant admirers of Hitler...one an ardent Communist, and one was a Duchess. A backdoor look into England and Germany in the runup to WWII. Their childhood was so eccentric it was comical. To top it off, they were beautiful.
