I couldn't imagine a better narrator, I just wish she'd recorded more Mitford. I agree about Fanny, I always loved her probably because I felt that I was more of a Fanny than a Polly or Linda.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910091443817192109.post-58126865938399509462017-03-04T11:20:12.328-08:002017-03-04T11:20:12.328-08:00Cath, I'm fascinated by Deborah, I must read W...Cath, I'm fascinated by Deborah, I must read Wait for Me, wasn't she a huge fan of Elvis Presley?!<br /><br />Nadia, I do hope you enjoy Rachel Cusk!<br /><br />Nadine, if you like early to mid-twentieth century fiction I think you would enjoy this.<br /><br />Sunday, yes I think Love in a Cold Climate is my first favourite but The Pursuit of Love is a very close second!Vintage Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971819409379613967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910091443817192109.post-53896507588185241662017-02-18T10:16:28.776-08:002017-02-18T10:16:28.776-08:00I adore Nancy Mitford's book, especially Love ...I adore Nancy Mitford's book, especially Love in a Cold Climate and The Pursuit of Love.

What you wrote makes me want a cuppa and a comfy chair to settle down on with this book in hand :)<br /><br />By the by, I finally received my copies of Outline and Transit. After reading your post about it, I decided to order copies of both. I'm really looking forward to them both.

There're a few mentions of the Mitfords in there too as Debo and Kick became very good friends. I find all these connections fascinating.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910091443817192109.post-7220261968081883612017-01-17T16:15:41.398-08:002017-01-17T16:15:41.398-08:00Hi Cath, yes I would recommend Love in a Cold Clim...Hi Cath, yes I would recommend Love in a Cold Climate or The Pursuit of Love.
