Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Few aristocratic English families of the twentieth century enjoyed the glamorous notoriety of the infamous Mitford sisters. Nancy Mitford's most famous novels, The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, satirize British aristocracy in the twenties and thirties through the amorous adventures of the Radletts, an exuberantly unconventional family closely modelled on Mitford's own.

The Radletts of Alconleigh occupy the heights of genteel eccentricity, from terrifying Lord Alconleigh (who, like Mitford's father, used to hunt his children with bloodhounds when foxes were not available), to his gentle wife, Sadie, their wayward daughter Linda, and the other six lively Radlett children. Mitford's wickedly funny prose follows these characters through misguided marriages and dramatic love affairs, as the shadow of World War II begins to close in on their rapidly vanishing world.

Well, I read this for a book club after reading the "Mitford Sisters" biography. The Pursuit of Love was enough like the information in the biography that I wish I would have read this first then the biography as the two became confused at times. I actually really liked the writing style of Nancy Mitford and enjoyed the comedy/tragedy throughout the book. I look forward to reading Love in a Cold Climate as it seems less biographical (from reviews) and I will be able to focus more on her writing than her history.
