I'm reading The Six by Laura Thompson, yet another! biography of the Mitford sisters. When this came out last fall, my immediate reaction was that I had been Mitforded out and didn't need to read this (and the most immediately preceding bio of the sisters had been dreadful), but the NYTBR said in so many words that yes, you needed to read this one, too. So far, it's more impressionistic than factual, which I think is a good approach. At this point, any old Mitford hand knows the specifics.
