A thoroughly entertaining tale based on the life of a legendary author. In 1942, London, Nancy Mitford — the once sparkling Bright Young Thing — is estranged from her husband, has had her allowance cut, and she's given up her writing career. On top of this, her five beautiful but infamous sisters continue to make headlines with their controversial politics.

Desperate for income and distraction, Nancy jumps at the chance to manage a local bookshop while the owner is away at war. Between the shop's brisk business and the literary salons she hosts for her eccentric friends, Nancy's life seems on the upswing. But when a mysterious French officer insists that she has a story to tell, Nancy must decide if picking up the pen again and revealing all is worth the price she might be forced to pay.
