[Book Note] Jessica Mitford: Hons and Rebels
Just briefly:
Hons and Rebels caught my attention mostly due to a review regarding its newly published German language edition.While I'm sure to have heard of Jessica Mitford before (journalist and civil rights activist, self-proclaimed 'red sheep' in a somewhat notorious and bizarre, Hitler-supporting conservative British upper class family), I had no idea Mitford's childhood memoir, telling the story of her own emancipation from the confinements of family and class would turn out such stunning reading material.
