This is the second of two books that take place within the social context of this group of friends and acquaintances. In this book we follow along the trials and tribulations of Polly Hampton, a young woman who more or less becomes a fallen heiress but works her way back to some kind of set of graces through ingenuity and charm. I wasn’t a giant fan of the first book by Nancy Mitford, nor did I really like a different novel of hers I read […]
I am obliged to begin this story with a brief account of the Hampton family, because it is necessary to emphasise the fact once and for all that the Hamptons were very grand as well as very rich.
Love in a Cold Climate by Nancy Mitford
