A review by leoniepeonie
Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford

5.0

Absolutely golden. Hilarious and deeply enchanting throughout, I warmed to this book and it never stopped dealing out the good stuff! Mitford writes so swiftly and wittily and beautifully and it was just so much fun to read. A fascinating perspective on being young and full of hope in the thirties, and full of frustrations bubbling beneath the surface in a way that really doesn't feel that distant from where we're at today. I found it consoling and joyous and real, even when its topics were serious and dark.
