 Confidential to whoever introduced me to the Mitfords (I think it was [personal profile] ironed_orchid  but it might have been [personal profile] lapinlunaire  or [personal profile] kore ???) that there is a Pursuit of Love miniseries and I am currently watching it. Giant thanks to [personal profile] katebacross without whom I wouldn't have known such a thing existed, and I am passing it along in case anyone else didn't know.

Mitford? As in this: https://www.goodreads.com/series/44044-mitford-years
I, even though I am a Jew, I thoroughly loved that series.

I remember that but haven't seen it yet! God, my To Watch List is even worse than the TBR pile.

Oh, man, I am FASCINATED by the Mitfords, all of them. What a kooky fucking set. Communists! Fascists! Horsy gardening women! I will have to look at that show. Have you read Jo Walton? Her alterna-history Small Change trilogy (which is also fascinating but somewhat depressing), Farthing, Ha'penny, and Half a Crown is worth it, and features a fictional set of Mitfords.

Oh I've been wanting to read Mitford books since I was a teenager and never got round to it and my supervisor recently recommended the miniseries to me.
I think she was using the Mitford sisters as an example of children coming through childhood abuse all strong and sane like, but I wasn't convinced!
