The Pursuit of Love - Nancy Mitford - Bog

- With Love in a Cold Climate and The Blessing

Bag om The Pursuit of Love

Love in a Cold Climate is the sequel to Nancy Mitford''s bestselling novel The Pursuit of Love.''How lovely - green velvet and silver. I call that a dream, so soft and delicious, too.'' She rubbed a fold of the skirt against her cheek. ''Mine''s silver lame, it smells like a bird cage when it gets hot but I do love it. Aren''t you thankful evening skirts are long again?'' Ah, the dresses! But oh, the monotony of the Season, with its endless run of glittering balls. Even fabulously fashionable Polly Hampton - with her startling good looks and excellent social connections - is beginning to wilt under the glare. Groomed for the perfect marriage by her mother, fearsome Lady Montdore, Polly instead scandalises society by declaring her love for her uncle ''Boy'' Dougdale, the Lecherous Lecturer, and promptly eloping to France. But the consequences of this union no one could quite expect . . . Love in a Cold Climate is the wickedly funny follow-up to The Pursuit of Love. ''Entirely original, inimitable and irresistible'' Philip Hensher, Spectator Nancy Mitford was the eldest of the infamous Mitford sisters, known for her membership in ''The Bright Young Things'' clique of the 1920s and an intimate of Evelyn Waugh; she produced witty, satirical novels with a cast of characters taken directly from the aristocratic social scene of which she was a part. Her novels, Wigs on the Green, The Pursuit of Love, The Blessing and Don''t Tell Alfred, are available in single paperback editions from Penguin or as part of The Penguin Complete Novels of Nancy Mitford which also includes Highland Fling, Christmas Pudding and Pigeon Pie. This edition of Love in a Cold Climate is introduced by actor, director and writer Alan Cumming.
