Contains: The Pursuit of LoveLove in a Cold ClimateThe BlessingFollow PenguinNancy Mitford's Love in a Cold Climate and Other Novels casts a finely gauged net to capture perfectly the foibles and fancies of the English upper class, and includes an introduction by Philip Hensher in Penguin Modern Classics.

She gets a hold over people much too easily, with her charm and her prestige, and then forces her own values on them. Nancy Mitford, Love in a Cold Climate and Other Novels //
Absolutely loved The Pursuit of Love and was devastated at the abrupt ending. A perfectly fitting ending but somehow still unexpected. This book contains three stories, the first is The Pursuit of Love. Both the first and second (Love in a Cold Climate) stories are taken from Fanny's account of her cousins. The first, Linda from Alconleigh and the second Polly Montdore. The final story is The Blessing and is independant of the others, the only link being the name of...
