Product Description

Product Description
Nancy Mitford died in 1973, before she could write her autobiography. This is a selection from one of the most prolific letter-writers of the 20th century. Nancy Mitford's correspondence to her wide circle of friends - Harold Acton, Robert Byron, Evelyn Waugh and Cyril Connolly - sheds a light on their lives and the times in which they lived. The book spans a period of 60 years with over 100 correspondents. It includes a collection of more than 300 letters to Evelyn Waugh, one of her closest friends. There are detailed accounts of the foolishnesses and foibles of her adopted country (France) and also in the story of her unhappy marriage and her prolonged love-affair with the "colonel", a member of de Gaulle's government. Charlotte Mosley is the editor of a collection of Nancy Mitford's journalism, "A Talent to Annoy".

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, 31 Mar 2007
By Oliver Pool "olipool" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a good read, although Mitford's style can get a bit too frothy at times - all felt a bit sameish by the end of the book. However, I loved lines like "Low Church people are very holy but they do so treat God like their first cousin" and "A friend of mine called Lady Pat Russell writes from Austria that she was raped by 6 Cossacks. (Hard cheese as she is a Lesbian.) Very topical & in the swim of her isn't it. I wrote back and told her what the Americans are like here to cheer her up." and "Funny how people who know nothing about sex never do think of that sort of thing - I mean people like uncle Tommy if they meet a bugger always expect to be fallen upon tooth and nail."

But sometimes you feel that the letters she got back in return might have been the better half of the correspondence, especially as she was corresponding with the likes of Evelyn Waugh.
