Nancy 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. Nancy Mitford's brilliantly witty, irreverent stories of the upper classes in pre-war London and Paris conjure up a world of glamour, gossip and decadence. In The Pursuit of Love, Love in a Cold Climate and The Blessing, her extraordinary heroines deal with armies of hilariously eccentric relatives, the excitement of love and passion, and the thrills of the social Season. But beneath the glittering surfaces and perfectly timed comic dialogue, Nancy Mitford's novels are also touching hymns to a lost era and to the brevity of life and love from one of the most individual, beguiling and creative users of the language. Nancy Mitford (1904-1973) was born in London. A member of one of the aristocracy's more eccentric families, and educated at home with a clutch of siblings, Mitford used childhood experience, lightly fictionalised, in her comic novels, including The Pursuit of Love (1945). She also wrote biographies, translated from the French and edited a celebrated symposium on English Aristocrats. If you enjoyed Love in a Cold Climate and Other Novels, you might like Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'Very funny ... inimitable and irresistible ... one of the most individual, beguiling and creative users of English this century' Philip Hensher

Only three novels ... I guess I expected more!
2014年6月10日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I'm a long-time fan of Nancy Mitford's writing, and wanted to replace my paper copies of her novels with Kindle books. Rather stupidly, I expected this ebook to contain at least four, e.g. The Pursuit of Love, Love in a Cold Climate, The Blessing and and Don't Tell Alfred. It only had the first three, and they hadn't made the transition to Kindle format very well as there were quite a lot of incorrect characters and missing spaces. Potential purchasers may prefer to choose this Kindle book: www.amazon.com/Penguin-Complete-Novels-Nancy-Mitford-ebook/dp/B005WNGFRW/ - which contains eight Mitford novels for about $15 - rather than the one I bought, which only contains three for about $10.
Well Read

Beguiling, witty, fun
2008年5月29日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
After many years since first reading Love in a Cold Climate, meeting Nancy Mitford's beguiling, hilarious, characters again, is a laughter fest. Surprises there are midst the intrigue. Who could forget the unexpected transformation of posh, stuffy, Lady Montdore by zany, camp, Cedric Hampton? Or charming, lecherous, womaniser Boyd Douglas, who is much more than he seems to be. This Penguin edition is particularly good value with the inclusion of In Pursuit of Love, and The Blessing, three of Nancy Mitford's memorable novels. For night owls they won't cure insomnia, they will though captivate, make you laugh, and make wish there were more. Which there are, if you search Amazon.

Frothy, fun and interesting.

This is the story of Linda Radlet as told by her cousin and best friend, Fanny. It is set in pre -war England made familiar in Downton Abbey, but from the viewpoint of the Hons, or toffs.
It is a surprisingly good read. Most of the characters are convincing set in the context of a class-driven society where eccentricity is accepted and indulged when supported by wealth, and double standards are unremarkable.
But the hons are not stupid, they can see the world order is changing, and flirt with new intellectual ideas such as communism or fascism depending on how attractive its messengers are.
All this sounds a bit worthy and dull, but the tone of the book is quite the opposite. It is well written, in a gossipy way, and some of the conversations are as witty and nuanced as Jane Austen. Nancy Mitford must have been a great hit at the various society events she would have attended, being observant and intelligent, with a great sense of fun. A very enjoyable read.

Indeed, a very British classic
2011年3月25日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Like Agatha Christie's stories, Nancy Mitford takes us back to a wonderful and now sadly lost chapter in British history when the world moved at a far slower pace and cigarettes didn't harm you.
This story oozes with her now famous quirky humour focussed on the British aristocracy, of which she was a part of. Today, perhaps Nancy could be parallelled with someone like Tara Palmer Thompkinson as the IT girl of the 1920's and 1930's; and would be very well placed.
Everyone should read at least one Nancy Mitford book in their lifetime, if not all of them; knockout!

Love is luke warm
2012年5月15日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Love in a cold climate is an entertaining read becasue it reveals a world from an insider's view - namely that of the landed gentry and titled aristocracy. However, it is also quite superficial. Although written in the first person singular we learn very little about her.
