From the Discussion
"I loved The Mitford Affair. I have read quite a bit about the Mitfords, have read many of Nancy Mitford's books and yet with this book I still learned quite a lot. I remain baffled as to how the Mitford sisters could be so politically dissimilar considering their upbringing and social standing." - scgirl
"I have always found Marie Benedict’s books fascinating. She teaches me something every time I read one. She finds pieces of history and brings them to life. Selecting three of the Mitford sisters to do a deep dive into their lives was absolutely engaging and helped educate me even more on this time period." - mimimw
"I enjoyed this book a lot even though I found myself cringing over the characters' dedication to fascism and Hitler. I did not know much about the Mitford sisters, so after finishing the book I looked up the family, and it seems that Benedict did a pretty good job of staying true to the real-life characters... I like to read a book such as this that makes me struggle and think." - mtnluvr
