The MITFORD SISTERS

Nancy all the way cuz The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate rule. Everyone should read those.

Jessica seemed a goodish sort but shoot the rest of them. Fun fact I just learned from Wikipedia: she was in a band that once opened for Cyndi Lauper and recorded a cover of Maxwell's Silver Hammer

Cause of death: Meningitis caused by a bullet which remained in her brain after self-inflicted gunshot from a gun given her by Hitler

fwiw their lone brother was also a piece of shit

English aristos a bunch of fascists, who knew

Pam benefits hugely in the retelling from being much less frequent a correspondent than the rest of them (or less inclined to retain wildly unsympathetic correspondence); also seemingly hugely bullied by spiky Nance as kids and a more distant figure thereafter.

Jessica seemed a goodish sort

^this. her memoir Hons and Rebels provides the exculpatory evidence, but no one could grow up in her circumstances and wholly escape the attitudes of the aristocracy.

My friend has a cat named Nancy Kitford so it's got to be Nancy.

Mosley banned Nancy from his home for four years when the book came out, and one can’t imagine that her large, unwieldy sister Unity, who was six foot one and attended deb dances with her pet rat, Ratular – she was also the fascist one who made friends with Hitler before shooting herself in the head on the day England declared war on Germany – was particularly delighted by being caricatured as Eugenia Malmains, ‘England’s largest heiress’ (‘My dog is called the Reichshund, after Bismarck’s dog you know’).
