I had never heard of the Mitford family prior to reading this book. It proved to be a fascinating journey through the ideas and beliefs that would draw women of somewhat high society to act as they did during Hitler's rise to power. The way the book is written provides an avenue for understanding a mindset that is now nearly impossible to fathom. We are currently living in a world that is very close to the one described in this book.
