History by the Book meets to discuss historical fiction and non-fiction books. We explore the deeper stories behind historical events and periods in the past.
Discover the life beyond the headlines in Life in a Cold Climate by Laura Thompson, an insightful biography of writer Nancy Mitford. Capturing her wit, contradictions, and resilience while drawing on Mitford’s letters, novels, and personal connections, Thompson paints a vivid portrait of a woman who found literary success and joy amid family scandal, a failed marriage, and unrequited love.
