'A savagely funny, bracingly sad, dazzlingly clever reimagining of
The Pursuit of Love. I loved it. Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and
Bliss 'A triumph! Brilliantly done, faithful but imaginative,
tremendously romantic and very funny.' Nina Stibbe, author of
Reasons to be Cheerful 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. A razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud novel that
re-imagines the cast of Nancy Mitford's The Pursuit of Love.
