A la caza del amor

In her most successful novel, Nancy Mitford uses real-life elements from her extravagant and famous family in order to weave her story. We become acquainted with the different members of the Radlett family: the ill-tempered father Uncle Matthew, the absent and devout mother Sadie, and the seven children who, along with their cousin Fanny, make up a bizarre and entertaining family. But the real focus of this story is young Linda Radlett and her incessant quest for love. Throughout these pages we witness her conquests and meet the men in whom she believes to have found true love. This work showcases the author’s famous satirical genius and her extraordinary ability to reconstruct the environment, lifestyle, and people of the British aristocracy. This is a smart and entertaining book that, in addition to being a vibrant and biting novel, is also a true slice of life.
