Don't Tell Alfred is the wickedly funny sequel to Nancy Mitford's
The Pursuit of Love, which is now a major BBC series and Prime
Video series directed by Emily Mortimer starring Lily James, Andrew
Scott and Dominic West, and Love in a Cold Climate 'I believe it
would have been normal for me to have paid a visit to the outgoing
ambassadress. However the said ambassadress had set up such an
uninhibited wail when she knew she was to leave, proclaiming her
misery to all and sundry and refusing so furiously to look on the
bright side, that it was felt she might not be very nice to me.'
Fanny is married to absent-minded Oxford don Alfred and content
with her role as a plain, tweedy housewife. But overnight her life
changes when Alfred is appointed English Ambassador to Paris. In
the blink of an eye, Fanny's mixing with royalty, Rothschilds and
Dior-clad wives, throwing cocktail parties and having every
indiscreet remark printed in tomorrow's papers. But with the love
lives of her new friends to organize, an aristocratic squatter who
won't budge and the antics of her maverick sons to thwart, Fanny's
far too busy to worry about the diplomatic crisis looming on the
horizon . . . ***** 'Peerless' Zoe Heller 'A comic genius'
