Take Six Girls: The Lives of the Mitford Sisters by Laura Thompson

3.0

An interesting if overly indulgent portrait of very complex women. It is abundantly clear at times that. the author greatly admires the Mitford sisters or some aspect of what they represent, and as a result the book often shyed away from genuinely critically examining their actions. The structure was off-putting and hard to follow as it was not organised chronologically or by sister. It felt more like a well-captured vignette of "Mitfordian" life (as defined mostly by Nancy, Jessica, and Diana) than an in-depth autobiography of the six sisters.
