Description for The Pursuit of Love: With Love in a Cold Climate and The Blessing
Paperback.
'A masterpiece ... The Pursuit of Love is one of the funniest books ever written' India Knight, The Times

In The Pursuit of Love, Love in a Cold Climate and The Blessing, her extraordinary heroines deal with armies of eccentric relatives, the excitement of love and passion, and the thrills of the social Season.
