Troublemaker on Bloomberg’s “Best of November” List

Bloomberg has included Troublemaker: The Fierce, Unruly Life of Jessica Mitford on its “Best Movies, TV, Books, Art, and Theater Arriving in November.”

“The glamorous, brilliant (and, in two out of six cases, resolutely fascist) Mitford sisters have proved an enduring source of fascination for almost a century. The latest contribution to the literature focuses on Jessica, the fifth of six sisters and the only Mitford to join the Communist Party. Kaplan, a historian and professor at Northeastern University, focuses on Jessica’s pivot left, push for social justice and pioneering career as a journalist.”
