The best time of the year for reading.

I’ve never read The Pursuit of Love. Is it good?

I adored it. The writing style and humour was just the ticket for me.

it’s on my wishlist.
Does your copy have an intro that’s worth buying that edition for? There are so many available…

My Penguin editon has no intro, very unusual for a Penguin classic. Just a note at the front about the text reflecting the attitudes of the day, etc.

Thanks for that. Sometimes I find the intro a complete waste of space (I’m thinking of some in Text Classics which are like uni essays) and then others like the ones in OWC Zola’s which give the political and social context for the era and are really good. Haha, those ones save a lot of googling!

The intro in Dorian Gray was excellent. I really liked having that, but yes, I’ve definitely come across some useless ones.

I’ve never read The Pursuit of Love. It’s on my to read classics list but I had second thoughts after reading another of her books, Love In A Cold Climate which I didn’t like very much. Have you read that one and of so how do they compare?

I haven’t read that, no. The Pursuit of Love was my first by her. I have ordered the rest of her books though, as I particularly enjoyed her writing style.

I LOVE Mitford and I think I’ve read all of her books (maybe missing some short stories here and there). You absolutely must watch the BBC TV series version (was on Prime in Australia) – it’s fabulous.

I watched that last year. It was divine and made me want to read the book. I have ordered a Penguin volume of all eight of her novels in one. I adore her style and want to read all of her work. I also want to rewatch the series now too.
