Hons and Rebels 3 - The End (Pages 104 - end)
RATING: GOOD
This is the last part of the book. I have enjoyed Jessica Mitford's vision of her own family. I loved the part about her growing up, but I have to say that I found the last part dull. When Jessica travels to America with her husband and meets all these new people, that did not grip my attention so much.
