Fanny’s answer was simple and she was embarrassed for herself and her aunt (who was arguing with Uncle Matthew for she believes that a woman had to be able to support herself), while Linda’s answer was illustrious and full of dramatic quotes. During a family dinner though, Linda’s father, Uncle Matthew, made a comparison of the two girls’ education by asking them what they knew about George III. The Radlett children’s education was rather eccentric – the girls did not receive a good education, they were not sent to school while Fanny, raised by her sensible Aunt Emily did. One of their daughters, Linda, is Fanny’s best friend and the main character of the story. During holidays, Fanny spends her time in her other relatives, the Radlett’s. Our narrator in ‘ The Pursuit of Love’ is Fanny, whose parents had separated and brought up by her aunt and uncle. I put ‘Love in a Cold Climate’ on my #theclassicsclub list and I thought writing a review for the first book will refresh my memory of the plot and the characters. Every, every time.” ― Nancy Mitford, The Pursuit of Love ‘Oh, dulling,’ said my mother, sadly, ‘One always thinks that. “He was the great love of her life you know.’
