The great wits and beauties of their age, the Mitford sisters were immoderate in their passions for ideas and people, counting among their diverse friends Adolf Hitler and Queen Elizabeth II, Cecil Beaton and President Kennedy, Evelyn Waugh and Givenchy. As editor Charlotte Mosley notes, not since the Brontës have the members of a single family written so much about themselves, or have been so written about.
The Mitfords offers an unparalleled look at these privileged sisters: Nancy, the scalding wit who transformed her family life into bestselling novels; Pamela, who craved nothing more than a quiet country life; Diana, the fascist jailed with her husband, Oswald Mosley, during World War II; Unity, a suicide, torn by her worship of Hitler and her loyalty to home; Jessica, the runaway Communist and fighter for social change; and Deborah, the genial socialite who found herself Duchess of Devonshire.
Spanning the twentieth century, the magically vivid letters of the legendary Mitford sisters constitute not just a superb social and historical chronicle; they also provide an intimate portrait of the stormy but enduring relationships between six beautiful, gifted, and radically different women who wrote to one another to confide, commiserate, tease, rage, and gossip—and above all to amuse.

"La correspondencia entre las seis hermanas Mitford, todavía inédita en español, conforma, no sólo el trazado de las vidas particulares de Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica y Deborah, sino también un interesante retrato del siglo xx a través de los ojos de estas seis mujeres que, a pesar de sus diferencias ideológicas y sus distintas concepciones del mundo, siempre se mantuvieron unidas gracias, entre otras cosas, a las cartas. Tenemos a Nancy, la famosa novelista; a Pamela, que fue feliz llevando una vida apartada y rural; a Diana, que se enamoró de un fascista y no dudó en adoptar sus ideales; a Unity, cuya admiración hacia Hitler terminó en una impactante tragedia personal; a Jessica, viajera y socialista; y a la más pequeña, Deborah, que acabó convirtiéndose en la duquesa de Devonshire. En definitiva, lo que Tres Hermanas ofrece al lector con esta excepcional traducción de Andrés Barba y Carmén M. Cáceres es un viaje por el jardín de atrás de nuestra historia más reciente, el acceso al escondite secreto de seis voces que, a quien se acerque a ellas, le resultarán sin duda imposibles de olvidar."
