Marie Benedict is one of my favorite historical fiction authors. This time I read The Mitford Affair. The Mitford family lived in England. During the 1930's the six daughters and one son became famous and/or infamous. One of them married a pro-fascist Englishman. One moved to Vienna and became a fan of Adolph Hitler. joining him at the Olympic games in Germany. Another sister was also a fan of Hitler and lived in Germany. One became a novelist. One became a Communist first moving to Spain and then to the United States. One of them was a novelist and informed Winston Churchill on the comings and goings of her sisters living in Germany. The father in the family was anti-German but the mother was pro-fascist. Crazy how different family members can be.
