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.

When Barbara Walters launched The View, network executives told her that hosting it would tarnish her reputation. Instead, within 10 years, she’d revolutionized morning TV and made household names of her cohosts: Joy Behar, Star Jones, Meredith Vieira, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. But the daily chat fest didn’t just comment on the news. It became the news. And the headlines barely scratched the surface. Based on unprecedented access, award-winning journalist Ramin Setoodeh takes you backstage where the stars really spoke their minds.

Worst Narrator EVER!
Reviewed: 04-08-19
DO NOT BUY the audio version of this book! The narrator is the author and someone should have given him some sound career advice and told him that in no way does he have the voice or skills to narrate this book. His voice is terrible. He sounds like he's got a serious nasal congestion issue, his reading style is very s-l-o-w (almost sleepy) and he has a problem with enunciation and over all pacing. I'd rather listen to a symphony of fingernails on a chalkboard. I actually feel sorry for the author that no one had his back or cared enough for him to tell him he was making a HUGE mistake.

Beyond BORING!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A better story! The main characters did nothing. The heroine is 23 years old and she acts like she's 15. The hero is almost 30 and spends all his time sulking in the drawing room. There was nothing remotely interesting about either characters.
What three words best describe Rosalyn Landor’s performance?
Decent.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Because of Miss Bridgerton?
Every scene where they spent time squabbling like a bunch of toddlers. Oh, wait that would be the entire book.
