Outrageous: The True Story of the 1930s' Most Notorious Family

A family divided. A world on fire. The true story that is more shocking than fiction.

In the dazzling, tumultuous decade of the 1930s, as Europe stood on the brink of war, one aristocratic family became a living, breathing headline. They were the six Mitford sisters-a beautiful, brilliant, and notoriously eccentric brood whose lives encapsulated the extremes of a generation.

This book is the unvarnished account of their improbable journey. It is the story of Diana, the stunning socialite who abandoned her marriage to become the bride of a fascist and a confidante of Hitler. It is the story of Unity, the lost soul who went on a bizarre pilgrimage to Germany and ultimately paid a devastating price for her unwavering devotion. And it is the story of Jessica, the fiery Communist who fled her family and country to fight for a new world.

But this is also the story of their sisters: Nancy, the novelist, who turned family scandal into literary genius; Pamela, the quiet countrywoman, who found peace far from the political fray; and Deborah, the duchess, who was tasked with preserving a historical legacy.

Through their explosive letters, private diaries, and public lives, Outrageous delves into the very heart of how a family can be torn apart by opposing ideologies. It is a story of love, betrayal, and unwavering conviction-a compelling and unforgettable portrait of a family that mirrored the most turbulent century in modern history.
