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