Product Description

Review
"A hugely enjoyable tale, read to perfection by Prunella Scales." The Scotsman 7/12/96

Product Description
This is the classic comedy of upper crust English manners and mores on the subject of love between the Wars. Set in the privileged world of the country house party and the London season, "Love in a Cold Climate" is a delicious comedy of English upper-class manners between the wars. With a gallery of unforgettable characters, and in her distinctively witty style, Nancy Mitford exposes the eccentricities and foibles of the aristocracy in their pursuit of amusement, gossip - and love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased Mitford fan, 11 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This is one of my favourite books so I was very nervous about listening to an abridged reading. My fears were unfounded - Prunella Scales does a marvellous job (although I would still have preferred it to have been unabridged).

5.0 out of 5 stars Amusing comedy of love and manners, 15 May 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Love in a Cold Climate (Paperback)
Rather to my surprise, I enjoyed this book immensely. It is the story of Fanny and her relationship with the Montdores, particularly the beautiful daughter, Polly, and her mother, in their search for love. It is still very funny; it made me laugh out aloud a few times. The language is a little dated (eggy-peggy; I'm aching; can I bend you), but even that becomes quaint after a while. It's written in a breathless, charming style, and all the characters are vivid and memorable. Still, remember, eat the rich.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Very Amusing, 6 April 2001
By A Customer
I read this book after watching the TV dramatisation and found it incredibly humourous. Uncle Matthew, Davey and Cedric Hampton are such amusing characters that I burst out laughing on the bus almost everytime I opened the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewing classics is always different...
Always different reviewing classics but Love in a Cold Climate is much more fun than Pursuit of Love, it's less involved in the relationships of one woman than its prequel and... Read more
