About the Books. The Pursuit of Love introduces the eccentric Radlett family through the eyes of their cousin Fanny, focusing on Linda, the most beautiful and wayward of the Radlett daughters. Longing for romance, Linda drifts through a stuffy Tory MP and a humourless communist, before finding real love amid the chaos of wartime Paris. Love in a Cold Climate shifts focus to Polly Hampton, fabulously fashionable and painfully groomed for the perfect match by her formidable mother, Lady Montdore. Polly scandalises society by falling for her disreputable uncle, 'Boy' Dougdale, and eloping to France, with consequences no one could have predicted.
