Darling: A razor-sharp, gloriously funny retelling of Nancy Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love - Softcover
Synopsis
Delight the bookworm in your life with the gift of this hilarious and heartbreaking modern-day adaptation of Nancy Mitford''s classic, The Pursuit of Happiness.
---
Marooned in a sprawling farmhouse in Norfolk, teenage Linda Radlett feels herself destined for greater things. She longs for love, but how will she ever find it? She can''t even get a signal on her mobile phone. Linda''s strict, former rock star father terrifies any potential suitors away, while her bohemian mother, wafting around in silver jewellery, answers Linda''s urgent questions about love with upsettingly vivid allusions to animal husbandry.
Eventually Linda does find her way out from the bosom of her deeply eccentric extended family, and she escapes to London. She knows she doesn''t want to marry ''a man who looks like a pudding'', as her good and dull sister Louisa has done, and marries the flashy, handsome son of a UKIP peer instead.
But this is only the beginning of Linda''s pursuit of love, a journey that will be wilder, more surprising and more complicated than she could ever have imagined.
