DO ADMIT THE MITFORD SISTERS AND ME HC (MR)

Mimi Pond crafts a gorgeous, dazzling biography of the Mitford Sisters. In Do Admit: The Mitford Sisters and Me, they grow from cloistered turn-of-the-century country girls into debutantes who would marry into political influence-for better or worse. Is it any wonder that a young, working class Mimi in Southern California becomes enamored with The Mitfords' downright fanciful rich-and-famous lifestyle? This charming, inventively cartooned, and lovingly researched biography captures the dramatic, over-the-top antics of high society's strongest personalities as they rubbed elbows with some of history's most infamous fascists and communists.
