About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Love in a Cold Climate is the sequel to Nancy Mitford's best-selling 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. 'Mine's silver lame, it smells like a bird cage when it gets hot but I do love it. Aren't 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....

The narrator is a low talker!
Great story but spoiled by the reader who spoke in hushed tones when narrating the storyline, as if whispering secret asides, and then came startlingly alive when voicing characters. Very annoying, but I persisted for the sake of Nancy Mitford and her wit.

Brilliant
Love this book and loved the narrator who bought each character brilliantly to life. Nancy Mitford’s wit is second to none
