The compelling love story of two extraordinary individuals - Nancy
Mitford and Free French commander Gaston Palewski - living in
extraordinary times - immortalised in THE PURSUIT OF LOVE 'A
delicious mix of drama, melancholy and enchantment' DAILY EXPRESS
'Entertainingly caustic' SUNDAY TIMES 'Bringing to life the worlds
of Nancy Mitford's novels' INDEPENDENT 'Oh, the horror of love!'
Nancy Mitford once exclaimed. Elegant and intelligent, Nancy was a
reknowned wit and a popular author. Yet this bright, waspish woman,
capable of unerring emotional analysis in her work gave her heart
to a well-known philanderer who went on to marry another woman. Was
Nancy that unremarkable thing - a deluded lover - or was she a
remarkable woman engaged in a sophisticated love affair? Gaston
Palewski, was the Free French commander and one of the most
influential politicians in post-war Europe. His and Nancy's mutual
life was spent amongst the most exciting, powerful and
controversial figures in the centre of reawakening Europe. She
supported him throughout his tumultuous career and he inspired some
of her best work, including The Pursuit of Love. Lisa Hilton's
provocative book reveals how, with discipline, gentleness and a
great deal of elegance, Nancy Mitford and Gaston Palewski achieved
a very adult ideal.
