This novel by Nancy Mitford was first published in 1945. It is the first in a trilogy about an upper-class English family in the interwar period, focusing on the romantic life of Linda Radlett, as narrated by her cousin, Fanny Logan. Although a comedy, the story has tragic overtones, becoming a satirical analysis of the flightiness and eccentrity of the wealthy, and the role assigned to women at that time. A classic social satire worth reading.
