Acerca de esta escucha
"Plunges readers into a world of glamorous, charismatic young British debutantes and then turns that shiny world on its head...the most delicious storytelling." (Allison Pataki, New York Times best-selling author of The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post)
From New York Times best-selling author Marie Benedict comes an explosive novel of history's most notorious sisters, one of whom will have to choose: her country or her family?
Between the World Wars, the six Mitford sisters—each more beautiful, brilliant, and eccentric than the next—dominate the English political, literary, and social scenes. Though they've weathered scandals before, the family falls into disarray when Diana divorces her wealthy husband to marry a fascist leader and Unity follows her sister's lead all the way to Munich, inciting rumors that she's become Hitler's mistress.
As the Nazis rise in power, novelist Nancy Mitford grows suspicious of her sisters' constant visits to Germany and the high-ranking fascist company they keep. When she overhears alarming conversations and uncovers disquieting documents, Nancy must make excruciating choices as Great Britain goes to war with Germany.
Probing the torrid political climate in the lead-up to World War II and the ways that seemingly sensible people can be sucked into radical action, The Mitford Affair follows Nancy's valiant efforts to stop the Nazis from taking over Great Britain, and the complicated choices she must make between the personal and the political.

Historia
Rosalind Franklin has always been an outsider - brilliant, but different. Whether working at the laboratory she adored in Paris or toiling at a university in London, she feels closest to the science, those unchanging laws of physics and chemistry that guide her experiments. When she is assigned to work on DNA, she believes she can unearth its secrets. Rosalind knows if she just takes one more X-ray picture - one more after thousands - she can unlock the building blocks of life.

Historia
From 1783, when German immigrant John Jacob Astor first arrived in the United States, until 2009, when Brooke Astor’s son, Anthony Marshall, was convicted of defrauding his elderly mother, the Astor name occupied a unique place in American society. The family fortune, first made by a beaver trapping business that grew into an empire, was then amplified by holdings in Manhattan real estate. Over the ensuing generations, Astors ruled Gilded Age New York society and inserted themselves into political and cultural life, but also suffered the most famous loss on the Titanic.

Most 20-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage.

New York, 1937: When estranged sisters Clara and Madeleine Sommers learn their grandmother is dying, they agree to fulfill her last wish: to travel across Europe - together. They are to deliver three letters, in which Violet will say good-bye to those she hasn’t seen since traveling to Europe 40 years earlier.

Budding journalist Madeleine relishes the opportunity to develop her ambitions....

Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

Love Marie’s books, but…
I have read so many of Marie’s books and have been fascinated by the depth of knowledge, expansive descriptive vocabulary and the intense and complex drama she provides in her style of writing. Such a great talent. But this one left me disappointed only at the very end. I will assume after all of the research she has done for this she has knowledge of how yes storyline played out. I don’t understand why she didn’t close it up with a real end of story.

A Book of Now
This is Benedict’s best yet. It has so much heart, so much voice, and pitch-perfect examination of issues which haunt all of us now. Yes, you can read it as simply WWII build up historical fiction, or you can read it and think—ah. Not that you understand it that you see how it can happen, blind devotion to a “supreme” leader. And ask yourself, what-would-you-do. All with voices which stay well within their own character and time. Excellent.

Great narrator, incomplete story
I enjoyed the unique storyline about Hitler's love life through a fictional lense, without the book being lovey-dovey. I think the author did a great job at character development. However, the story is incomplete and leaves an annoying feeling like, " What! It's done already!"
****spoiler alert beyond this line*************
I think there could've been more drama with respect to WW2, perhaps Nancy arriving at the truth - that her sisters deserve jail. I would've liked to see Diana and her husband with a severe punishment. I would've also liked to see Unity heal and become incredibly guilt conscience as well as go to jail for her choices, perhaps not as astringent of a punishment as Diana. Or another swing on things- Diana and her husband end up in the hospital due to an attack by the Nazis, letting them bear the burden of their mistakes, while Nancy gets to take care of her kids. All the while, Peter returning to father them.

Amazing!
Everything about this book was perfection! I was throughly intrigued and couldn't listen fast enough.

The parallels of Nazi and today’s politics is uncanny
The way people from the same family, who truly love each other, can become polarized politically & philosophically and the blinders we wear to justify our allegiances, is brought to the forefront in this novel.

A thought provoking slice of history.
It was hard for me to like any of the characters except Nancy. After I finished the book, I googled the family. Marie Benedict’s version engaged the reader and made her audience wanting more.

Ehhhhh
Unfortunately, this is not one of my favorites. I was really disappointed in the end of this book… just ending. I felt like there was no climax until the last “chapter” and there was no conclusion to the drawn out story. It just ended as a thought or rush to print! This book was highly recommended, by numerous book reviewers. So, I had huge expectations for a great read. I’ve read soooo many WWII (an embarrassing amount) books never on best selling list that are better than this read. At this point, I am convinced that book reviewers are paid off. I’m also not one to leave a review on books but I had to warn readers the disappointment. Nothing against the author. I know she has other great stories. I’m just going to have to recommend a pass for this particular book.

Passable
I struggled with this one. So, I actually went to the back of the book and read backwards. It helped somewhat. I felt I was drowning nazism and I just wanted the book to move on, for goodness sakes. I found myself getting sleepy while listening.
