Hq mitchell biography of nancy

She was one of the renowned Mitford sisters and one of the "Bright Young People" on the London social scene in the inter-war years, and is best remembered for her novels about upper-class life in England and France, and for her sharp and often provocative wit.

She also established a reputation as a writer of popular historical biographies. Mitford enjoyed a privileged childhood as the eldest daughter of the Hon. David Freeman-Mitford, later 2nd Baron Redesdale. Educated privately, she had no training as a writer before publishing her first novel in This early effort and the three that followed it created little stir; it was her two semi-autobiographical postwar novels, The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate that established her reputation.

Mitford had been unhappily married since to Peter Rodd, and formed a liaison during the Second World War with a Free French officer, Gaston Palewski, who became the love of her life although the pair were never a formal couple.
