The TV tie-in of Nancy Mitford's classic novel to coincide with the BBC adaptation starring Lily James
Nancy Mitford (1904-1973) was born in London, the eldest child of the second Baron Redesdale. She had written four novels, including Wigs on the Green (1935), before the success of The Pursuit of Love in 1945, which she followed with Love in a Cold Climate (1949), The Blessing (1951) and Don't Tell Alfred (1960). She also wrote four works of biography. Nancy Mitford was awarded the CBE in 1972.
Utter, utter bliss
*Daily Mail*
A dazzling comic delight
*Fiona Wilson, The Times, Saturday Review*
Too spiky and intelligent, I think, to qualify as an altogether
cosy read [...] beneath the brittle surface of Mitford's wit there
is something infinitely more melancholy at work - something that is
apt to snag you and pull you into its dark undertow when you are
least expecting it
*Zoë Heller, The Telegraph*
