A review by bronwynmb
Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford

4.0

I read The Sisters a few years ago and have been wanting to read this ever since. The parts I loved in The Sisters were the parts I loved here, the parts I didn't care for the same. I like the early years, all the fun family stuff, hearing about the language they created and their pets. But then the pre-war stuff starts and I just don't care as much. Then towards the end it got a bit better again, when they're travelling in the US (also, the observations on America and Americans were great), but slowed down a bit again right at the end. Decca really lived an interesting life- past what's in this book too. I love reading about the Mitfords.
