The dull stolidity and respectability of life in England's upper class is stifling the young Jessica. She's a rebel looking for a cause, and now she finds it.
Current iRate reader is Hons and Rebels by Jessica (Decca) Mitford. Photo above shows her and husband Esmond "nephew of Churchill" Romilly working their Miami bar set up.
I'm currently awaiting suggested dates to discuss ...

This a wonderful read that is very quotable. I like the way Diana and Boud convince their father that he will love Hitler, because Farve is really just an old fascist himself. I love their eccentricity - Boud shouting 'Heil Hitler' at all the old country ladies springs to mind as an example. Only the English can do eccentricity like this. Even the most out there Americans don't seem eccentric, just weird. How about Tuesday 24 Feb for the meeting?
