The Six: The Lives of the Mitford Sisters by Laura Thompson
2.0
I'm being generous with my stars for this book. I knew nothing about the Mitford sisters before reading this biography. I actually had never even heard of them. After reading the intro, I almost threw in the towel, but this was for my RL book group and I always read the books, no matter how I feel about them.
This book skipped all around and for the most part I dreaded picking it up each time. Finally, a little more than half-way through things finally settled down some and it became more pleasurable instead of hard work. We will be in England soon for a trip and we'll be in the area where the family lived, so that motivated me some to keep reading, as I love reading about places I'm going to visit.
The book did not equally discuss all the sisters and I would have liked to have known more about a few of them, but please no more pages that seem to go on and on without saying that much, or maybe they said too much! In the end, I'm ok that the book focused mostly on Nancy and Diana, as I was just relieved it was over.
