Join us for the last part of our deep dive into the extraordinary life of Nancy Mitford! In this episode, we're following the oldest of the Mitford Sisters from the end of WWII to her final years, looking at how she became one of the most celebrated authors of her times.
As the bombs stop falling, Nancy's star begins to rise with the runaway success of The Pursuit of Love. But a new love—and a new country—beckons. We'll follow her as she swaps the London Blitz for the chic streets of Paris, a city she loved, all for a man who kept her on her toes. We’ll also tackle her famously sharp U and Non-U debate and uncover the surprising truth behind its origins.
This is a wrap on the life of a woman who was a novelist, a (sad) lover, and, to some, a "snob." Perfect for anyone who loves some good old-fashioned aristocratic drama, spiced up with a dose of British & European (& world) history.
