书籍简介/Book Description

南希·米德福德出色的诙谐、不敬的故事，讲述了战前伦敦和巴黎上层社会的故事，勾勒出一个充满魅力、八卦和颓废的世界。在《追爱》、《寒冷季节的爱情》和《幸事》中，她不凡的女主人公们要面对一大群古怪的亲戚，要面对爱情和激情的刺激，要面对社交季节的刺激。但在完美的喜剧对话之下，这些小说也苦乐参半地提醒人们生命和爱情的短暂性。

'A masterpiece ... The Pursuit of Love is one of the funniest books ever written' India Knight, The Times

Nancy Mitford's brilliantly witty, irreverent stories of the upper classes in pre-war London and Paris conjure up a world of glamour, gossip and decadence. In The Pursuit of Love, Love in a Cold Climate and The Blessing, her extraordinary heroines deal with armies of eccentric relatives, the excitement of love and passion, and the thrills of the social Season. But beneath the perfectly timed comic dialogue, these novels are also bittersweet reminders of the brevity of life and love.

With an Introduction by Philip Hensher

'A kind of perfection' Olivia Laing, Guardian

'Peerless ... beneath the surface of Mitford's wit, there is something infinitely more melancholy at work' Zoe Heller
