Love in a Cold Climate

Better than Pursuit of Love for the sole reason that this book had more Victoria and Jassy.

This is a fun book. Mitford is such an easy, amusing writer, but it's not just fluff. I'm glad I reread these. (I can't help by picture Cedric and Lady Montdore from the miniseries during the whole “brush” bit.)

This is not a novel to read if you desire a complex plot, however if (like me) you delight in absurdly hilarious characters, then do spend a night or two with Ms Mitford. Although Polly (and even to some extent Fanny) seem quite vacuous, most of the other characters are wonderful. I love Davey, uncle Matthew, Lady Montdore and Cedric (naturally). Bravo!
