"Compelling.The letters are so affecting that it is difficult to refrain from wanting to get to know the sisters better." -- St. Petersburg Times
"An engrossing, deeply personal group portrait...Each letter is a thrilling gem unto itself...Marvelous fun."--Kirkus Reviews
"A splendid introduction to the eccentric charms of the Mitford world...On my short list of best books of the year."--Newsday
"Funny, loving, sparkly, snarky, heartbreaking, chilling, gossipy, wise....You'll be rewarded with six up-close, personal-and sometimes appalling-takes on the 20th century."--O magazine
"Marvelous...THE MITFORDS is quite simply one of the most sinful guilty pleasures of the season."--Baltimore Sun
"Fascinating...The sisters had the stiff upper lip of their class, and, it must be said, a way with words."--Wall Street Journal
"THE MITFORDS could have been an operatic group biography on an epic scale: Instead, thanks to its editor's taste and discretion, it is chamber music with symphonic longings... an intriguing record of each sister's personality... all six could write evocatively, even hauntingly."--Washington Post Book World
"Peppered with colorful nicknames, filled with love, encouragement, jealousy and gossip, and written primarily to amuse the recipients, the letters testify to the bonds of sisterhood."--Publishers Weekly
"Fascinating...Their irresistible appeal comes from the way they invite us into the close family circle."--New York Times Book Review
