Love in a Cold Climate

£20.00

First published in 1949, Love in a Cold Climate is seen as the finest of Nancy Mitford’s novels of aristocratic life in England between the wars. Polly Hampton has long been groomed for the perfect marriage by her mother, Lady Montdore. But Polly is bored by the monotony of her debut season in London. Having just come from India, where her father served as Viceroy, she hoped that society in a colder climate would be less obsessed with love affairs. When an elderly duke begins pursuing her and a callow potential heir curries favor with her parents, nothing goes as expected. This is the first Book Society edition published alongside the Hamish Hamilton first edition, and is in good condition.
