Description
Set amidst the snobbery and society of the interwar British aristocracy, The Pursuit of Lovemines Nancy Mitford’s own larger-than-life experiences for an exquisitely funny comedy of manners and frothy coming-of-age tale. Deliciously constructed and full of hilariously memorable characters, Mitford’s finest novel is an infinitely rewarding reading experience.
Nancy Mitford's The Pursuit of Love is one of the funniest, sharpest novels about love and growing up ever written.
'Obsessed with sex!' said Jassy, 'there's nobody so obsessed as you, Linda. Why if I so much as look at a picture you say I'm a pygmalionist.'
Oh, the tedium of waiting to grow up!
Longing for love, obsessed with weddings and sex, Linda and her sisters and cousin Fanny are on the lookout for the perfect lover.But finding Mr Right is much harder than any of the sisters had thought.
Linda must suffer marriage first to a stuffy Tory MP and then to a handsome and humourless communist, before finding real love in war-torn Paris.
