A Life of Contrasts

The Autobiography of the Most Glamorous Mitford Sister
Diana Mitford's gripping autobiography: both Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler adored her, and Evelyn Waugh and Oswald Mosley fell in love with her, yet she spent WWII in Holloway prison.
Diana Mitford, the most glamorous of the Mitfords, rivetingly narrates her life populated with key characters of 20th century history. Evelyn Waugh and Oswald Mosley fell in love with her, while not only Winston Churchill but also Adolf Hitler adored her. She lived in the grandest houses as well as in Holloway Prison. Later the Duke and Duchess of Windsor entered her life, followed by Nelson Mandela. Meanwhile her mordant Mitford wit developed later into an elegant arch writing style as journalist and (auto)biographer.
