A review by neom
Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford
4.0
I’m developing a bit of an obsession with the Mitfords. I can tell I’m going to start working my way through all their books and letters and biographies.
I loved this and found it a fascinating insight into one person’s life. The idea of running away to Spain or America with no job or clue what you would do terrifies me. There is a line towards the end about the supreme self confidence of the upper class and this sums it up for me. Total madness but I like it.
(Although I noted the hints they were, in fact, a total nightmare - boring and abandoning a car, nicking curtains, etc)
