Beware all those that buy this book - you'll get the Mitford bug! Since reading this I've also read biographies of all other members of her family that I could lay my hands on.

Selina Hastings has written a thoughtful and intelligent review of one of the most impressive woman in recent history and done so from a largely unbiased view. From the engaging detail of the
stories from Nancy's history to her continuos grounding of her life within a historical framework - every word entraps you in the magical feeling of actually having known the woman yourself.

I particularly enjoyed the cross-referencing of facts from Nancy's life with how she later portrayed them in her novels.

I'll certainly be buying the Evelyn Waugh biography by Hastings and hope to be equally as impressed.

Wonderful 10 Oct 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is one of the best biographies I have ever read. It is alive on the page - largely due to Hastings' judicious use of her source material, mainly letters, that allows the subjects to speak directly to us. A marvellous, funny and intelligent read.

OK 1 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
Not as insightful as i had hoped having just finished a biography of her sister, Diana. Perhaps it is due to having been written so long ago? Also very irritating long passages in French with no translation - another 80's habit! Having said that a very likable character, in many ways more interesting than her younger sister.
