A review by bellatronic
Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford

4.0

This memoir provides a perspective on a fascinating period in history. The politics and the social structures of the UK and the rest of the world in the 1920-30s is very interesting and I don't know enough about it, frankly. It seems that things were very different 100 years and yet, in a lot of ways, exactly the same. I was vaguely familiar with the Mitfords through some of Nancy's novels and through some of Evelyn Waugh's writing but I didn't really know much about Jessica before this book. I enjoyed her writing a lot and wish that more of her books were available on Kindle.
