Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford

4.0

This memoir was very interesting to me because it dealt with the Second World War and the events leading up to it in such an intimate, personal way. This wasn't about a country's policy, but about a young woman whose strong political beliefs happen to be the exact opposite of those of her sister and those of her parents, and how this ultimately affects the whole course of her life. It seems strange to even think about a rabid Nazi supporter and a fervent Communist as sisters, but this is how it was, and it certainly is an interesting lens to look at the time through.
