Reviews
"Fascinating...Their irresistible appeal comes from the way they invite us into the close family circle." -- New York Times Book Review "Funny, loving, sparkly, snarky, heartbreaking, chilling, gossipy, wise....You'll be rewarded with six up-close, personal-and sometimes appalling-takes on the 20th century." -- O magazine "A splendid introduction to the eccentric charms of the Mitford world...On my short list of best books of the year." -- Newsday "Marvelous...THE MITFORDS is quite simply one of the most sinful guilty pleasures of the season." -- Baltimore Sun "Fascinating...The sisters had the stiff upper lip of their class, and, it must be said, a way with words." -- Wall Street Journal "Nothing captures their enduring allure quite like their own correspondence...With this epistolary testament to sisterhood, the mystery of the Mitfords...has at last been solved." -- Vogue "Compelling...The letters are so affecting that it is difficult to refrain from wanting to get to know the sisters better." -- St. Petersburg Times "An engrossing, deeply personal group portrait...Each letter is a thrilling gem unto itself...Marvelous fun." -- Kirkus Reviews "Peppered with colorful nicknames, filled with love, encouragement, jealousy and gossip, and written primarily to amuse the recipients, the letters testify to the bonds of sisterhood." -- Publishers Weekly "THE MITFORDS could have been an operatic group biography on an epic scale: Instead, thanks to its editor's taste and discretion, it is chamber music with symphonic longings... an intriguing record of each sister's personality... all six could write evocatively, even hauntingly." -- Washington Post Book World, Fascinating...Their irresistible appeal comes from the way they invite us into the close family circle.

Synopsis
The great wits and beauties of their age, the Mitford sisters were immoderate in their passions for ideas and people, counting among their diverse friends Adolf Hitler and Queen Elizabeth II, Cecil Beaton and President Kennedy, Evelyn Waugh and Givenchy. As editor Charlotte Mosley notes, not since the Bront s have the members of a single family written so much about themselves, or have been so written about. The Mitfords offers an unparalleled look at these privileged sisters: Nancy, the scalding wit who transformed her family life into bestselling novels; Pamela, who craved nothing more than a quiet country life; Diana, the fascist jailed with her husband, Oswald Mosley, during World War II; Unity, a suicide, torn by her worship of Hitler and her loyalty to home; Jessica, the runaway Communist and fighter for social change; and Deborah, the genial socialite who found herself Duchess of Devonshire. Spanning the twentieth century, the magically vivid letters of the legendary Mitford sisters constitute not just a superb social and historical chronicle; they also provide an intimate portrait of the stormy but enduring relationships between six beautiful, gifted, and radically different women who wrote to one another to confide, commiserate, tease, rage, and gossip--and above all to amuse., This collection offers an unparalleled and intimate glimpse into the lives of the British aristocracy and an unvarnished look at these privileged sisters. Their letters present not just a superb social and historical chronicle of the 20th century, but also illuminate their stormy but enduring relationships. Photos throughout., "Fascinating" (Wall Street Journal) and "Irresistible" (New York Times Book Review), The Mitfords is the critically-acclaimed collection of the never-before-published letters of the legendary Mitford sisters The Mitford sisters were the great wits and beauties of their time. Immoderate in their passions for ideas and people, they counted among their diverse friends Adolf Hitler and Queen Elizabeth II, Cecil Beaton and President Kennedy, Evelyn Waugh and Givenchy. As editor Charlotte Mosley notes, not since the Brontës have the members of a single family written so much about themselves, or have been so written about. The Mitfords offers an unparalleled look at these privileged siblings through their own unabashed correspondence. Spanning the twentieth century, the magically vivid letters of the legendary Mitfords constitute a superb social and historical chronicle and an intimate portrait of the stormy but enduring relationships between six beautiful, gifted, and radically different women.

- 1***2 (5)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI’m very satisfied with my purchase. Although it did arrive a few days late, it was definitely worth $18 for a densely packed, 1000 paged textbook with lots and lots of questions to reinforce your understanding. In terms of the seller and the condition of the book, the seller was very truthful in their description, and marked the book as “acceptable”. I’ve only explored a fraction of the book, and as far as I’m concerned, the majority is “good”. I’m very happy, it looks great, great quality.Fundamentals of Physics Extended (Nr. 286648984516)
- r***7 (4276)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufBook that was received had loose and missing pages and fell short of the described condition. Seller responded quickly to this concern and the suggested resolution was much better than hoped for. This was clearly an honest mistake and I highly recommend this seller as honest and professional. A++ seller!
- b***a (1076)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufSorry to have to return the book, but the listing appeared as if the 5 vol set of books was listed. I only received vol. 1. Requested a refund and seller sent return slip immediately and issued a complete refund. I would feel comfortable buying from this seller again.
