Sinopsis
Jessica Mitford (1917–1996) was the daughter of Lord and Lady Redesdale, and she and her five sisters and one brother grew up in isolation on their parents’ Cotswold estate. Rebelling against her family’s hidebound conservatism, Mitford became an outspoken socialist and, with her second cousin and husband-to-be Esmond Romilly, ran away to fight against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Romilly was killed in World War II, and Mitford moved to America, where she married the lawyer and political activist Robert Treuhaft. A brilliant muckraking journalist, Mitford was the author of, among other works, a memoir of her youth, Hons and Rebels (also published as an NYRB Classic); a study of the funeral industry, The American Way of Death ; and Kind and Unusual Punishment: The Prison Business . She died at the age of seventy-eight while working on a follow-up to The American Way of Death , for which, with characteristic humor, she proposed the title “ Death Warmed Over .” Jane Smiley, winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, is the author of many novels and other works. In 2010 she published Private Life , a novel; A Good Horse , a book for young adults; and The Man Who Invented the Computer , the first volume of the Sloane American Inventors series.
