Kurzbeschreibung:

Love in a Cold Climate is the sequel to Nancy Mitfords bestselling novel The Pursuit of Love.
How lovely - green velvet and silver. I call that a dream, so soft and delicious, too. She rubbed a fold of the skirt against her cheek. Mines silver lame, it smells like a bird cage when it gets hot but I do love it. Arent you thankful evening skirts are long again?
Ah, the dresses! But oh, the monotony of the Season, with its endless run of glittering balls. Even fabulously fashionable Polly Hampton - with her startling good looks and excellent social connections - is beginning to wilt under the glare.
Groomed for the perfect marriage by her mother, fearsome Lady Montdore, Polly instead scandalises society by declaring her love for her uncle Boy Dougdale, the Lecherous Lecturer, and promptly eloping to France. But the consequences of this union no one could quite expect . . .
Love in a Cold Climate is the wickedly funny follow-up to The Pursuit of Love.
Entirely original, inimitable and irresistible Philip Hensher, Spectator
