Before Diana Mitford's disgrace as a social pariah, she was a
celebrated member of the Bright Young Things, moving at the centre
of 1920s and '30s London high society. She was a muse to many:
Helleu painted her, James Lees-Milne worshipped her, Evelyn Waugh
dedicated a book to her and Winston Churchill nicknamed her
'Dina-mite'. As the young wife of Bryan Guinness, heir to the
Guinness brewing empire, she lived a gilded life until fascist
leader Sir Oswald Mosley turned her head. Unpublished letters,
diaries and archives bring an unknown Diana to life, creating a
portrait of a beautiful woman whose charm and personality
enthralled all who met her, but the discourse of her life would
ultimately act as a cautionary tale. This groundbreaking biography
reveals the woman behind the myth.
