Longing for romance, Linda drifts through a stuffy Tory MP and a humourless communist, before finding real love amid the chaos of wartime Paris. Love in a Cold Climate shifts focus to Polly Hampton, fabulously fashionable and painfully groomed for the perfect match by her formidable mother, Lady Montdore. Polly scandalises society by falling for her disreputable uncle, 'Boy' Dougdale, and eloping to France, with consequences no one could have predicted. Don't Tell Alfred completes the trilogy, following Fanny herself, now married to the absent-minded Oxford don Alfred. When Alfred is unexpectedly appointed English Ambassador to Paris, Fanny is thrust into a world of royalty, Rothschilds and Dior-clad diplomatic wives, all while managing an aristocratic squatter and a runaway son. Together, the three novels offer a masterclass in comic timing, tracing the Radlett and Montdore families from the English countryside to the drawing rooms of Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete three-book set, all in brand-new paperback condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWitty, character-driven social comedy from one of Britain's most celebrated 20th-century novelists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompanion reading to the acclaimed BBC and Prime Video adaptation of The Pursuit of Love.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of literary fiction, historical fiction and family sagas with a satirical edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn ideal gift for book club members and devoted classic fiction lovers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy to read, gift, or add to any classic fiction shelf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNancy Mitford (1904–1973) was an English novelist and biographer, the eldest of the six famous Mitford sisters and a prominent figure among London's \"Bright Young People\" in the interwar years.
