DESCRIPTION
In “Muv – the story of the Mitford Girls’ Mother” Rachel Trethaway uncovers Sydney Redesdale’s pivotal role in shaping her daughters’ strong wills, confidence and perhaps their extremism. Each daughter had a wildly differing view of her. They were celebrated and sometimes scandalous figures. One journalist described them as “Diana the Fascist, Jessica the Communist, Unity the Hitler-lover; Nancy the Novelist; Deborah the Duchess and Pamela the unobtrusive poultry connoisseur”.[1]w of her – as a saint or scapegoat – and Rachel’s scholarship brings alive the interplay between “Muv” and her six daughters.
