Description
Zibby speaks to New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict about The Mitford Affair, a spellbinding and immersive new book about the notoriously glamorous Mitford sisters and the high-ranking fascist company one of them keeps in the lead-up to World War II. Marie talks about her fascination with the real-life Mitford sisters (the “it” girls of the 1930s) and the way Nazism and Hitler entranced a couple of them (along with many British aristocrats). After analyzing each sister, Marie describes her intense research and drafting process, the struggle of writing about horrific people and belief systems, and the exciting projects she has in the works!Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3D2WoXuSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
