«Love in a Cold Climate and Other Novels» is the volume that brings together three novels by Nancy Mitford, in paperback (512 pages, in English).
Set in the privileged world of country houses and the interwar London social season, it is a comedy of manners about the English upper class. Nancy Mitford combines witty dialogue with eccentric characters, love, passion, gossip and decadence, and a backdrop of nostalgia for a lost era.
This volume brings together The Pursuit of Love (1945), Love in a Cold Climate (1949) and The Blessing (1951), with an introduction by Philip Hensher in Penguin Modern Classics.
Intended for readers of modern classics and British comedy of manners, and for book clubs seeking social satire and period novels.
Nancy Freeman-Mitford was an English novelist, biographer, and journalist who was regarded as one of the "bright young things" on the London social scene in the inter-war period. She wrote several novels about upper-class life in England and France, and is considered a sharp and often provocative wit. She also has a reputation as a writer of popular historical biographies.
