The aristocratic Mitford sisters were writers and socialites, biographers and essayists. Jessica, who wrote Hons and Rebels and The American Way of Death, was a communist and human rights activist. Unity sympathised with the Nazis and worshipped Hitler. Nancy’s “Love in a Cold Climate” characters had a reckless upper-class Bohemianism and were determined to find life amusing at all costs, Diana became the most hated woman in Britain during World War II and Debo became a Duchess.
Susannah Fullerton looks at the lives and works of these unconventional sisters.
This event is brought to you in association with Wellington Arts Society.
