Nancy Mitford, The Pursuit of LoveRead about another entry on the list.
In Nancy Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love, the family are“always either on a peak of happiness or drowning in black waters of despair; their emotions [on] no ordinary plane, they loved or they loathed, they laughed or they cried, they lived in a world of superlatives.” The father’s hobbies include smearing his daughters with fox excrement and setting his hounds on their trail.
The Pursuit of Love is among Jemma Forte's top ten books about love, Anjelica Huston's seven favorite books, Elizabeth Buchan's top ten books to comfort & console during a divorce, and Anna Quindlen's five best novels on women in search of themselves.
