Emphasises their sheer extraordinariness and celebrates them' MAIL ON SUNDAY. \nThe eldest was a razor-sharp novelist of upper-class manners; the second was loved by John Betjeman; the third was a fascist who married Oswald Mosley; the fourth idolized Hitler and shot herself in the head when Britain declared war on Germany; the fifth was a member of the American Communist Party; the sixth became Duchess of Devonshire. \nThey were the Mitford sisters: Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah. Born into country-house privilege, they became prominent as 'bright young things' in the high society of interwar London. Then, as the shadows crept over 1930s Europe, the stark – and very public – differences in their outlooks came to symbolise the political polarities of a dangerous decade. \nThe intertwined stories of their lives – recounted in masterly fashion by Laura Thompson – hold up a revelatory mirror to upper-class English life before and after World War II.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51530726211872,"sku":"9781784970895","price":11.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781784970895.jpg?v=1777268557","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/take-six-girls-laura-thompson-9781784970895","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
