In the dazzling, tumultuous decade of the 1930s, as Europe stood on the brink of war, one aristocratic family became a living, breathing headline. They were the six Mitford sisters-a beautiful, brilliant, and notoriously eccentric brood whose lives encapsulated the extremes of a generation.
This book is the unvarnished account of their improbable journey. It is the story of Diana, the stunning socialite who abandoned her marriage to become the bride of a fascist and a confidante of Hitler. It is the story of Unity, the lost soul who went on a bizarre pilgrimage to Germany and ultimately paid a devastating price for her unwavering devotion. And it is the story of Jessica, the fiery Communist who fled her family and country to fight for a new world.
But this is also the story of their sisters: Nancy, the novelist, who turned family scandal into literary genius; Pamela, the quiet countrywoman, who found peace far from the political fray; and Deborah, the duchess, who was tasked with preserving a historical legacy.
Through their explosive letters, private diaries, and public lives, Outrageous delves into the very heart of how a family can be torn apart by opposing ideologies. It is a story of love, betrayal, and unwavering conviction-a compelling and unforgettable portrait of a family that mirrored the most turbulent century in modern history.
