The Mitfords: Letters Between Six Sisters is a richly detailed collection of correspondence between the six famous Mitford sisters—Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica, and Deborah—whose lives spanned some of the most dramatic political and cultural events of the 20th century. Edited by Charlotte Mosley, the book draws from a vast archive of family letters to reveal the sisters’ intimate relationships, rivalries, humour, and ideological divides. Through their correspondence, the reader gains insight into aristocratic life, shifting political allegiances, and the personal impact of major historical events, including fascism, communism, and World War II. The letters form both a compelling family chronicle and a broader social history of their era.
