I just finished "Wait for Me" The last biography of Deborah Mitford, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, I enjoyed it too.
Ooo have you read " The Mitfords: Letters Between Six Sisters" Its a compilation of all the letters between the Mitford sisters its a really engaging read and as its broken up in to the individual letters between the sisters its a nice book to dip in to inbetween reading other things
Ooh, I note your graph! (as the Mitford sisters would say). I loved that book - taught me a lot about the social mores and politics of the time too.
I just finished "A Visit From The Goon Squad" by Jennifer Egan - & highly recommend. The characters' lives are all entwined but she's put it together so deftly that you almost don't notice the beautiful architecture of the book. And it skips along so quickly. Oh and it's quite... hip? Sorta?
