Críticas:
The Mitford sisters have inspired bookshelves' worth of biographies and collected letters, but Nancy has always stood out as the family's great wit and literary talent.
Nancy Mitford was an English novelist with a glamor that surpassed even that of her aristocratic sisters. Their relationship became a tragedy. Mitford fans will love this book, of course, though it says so much more about the compromises and tragedies of love.
Hilton provides a sensationalistic, fast-paced account of the decades-long affair between the British novelist/biographer/socialite Nancy Mitford and Gaston Palewski. Worthwhile reading for lovers of historical romance and the ever-engrossing Mitfords.
Reseña del editor:
Set against the extraordinary backdrop of post-war France, the compelling love story of Nancy Mitford and Free French commander Gaston Palewski was a less than ideal affair. She was one of the twentieth century's most glamorous and popular authors; he was one of the most significant European politicians of the postwar era. He inspired her to write one of the funniest and most poignant and best-loved novels of its era: The Pursuit of Love. She supported him through a tumultuous political career. Lisa Hilton captures the complexities of their relationship amid some of the most exciting, powerful, and controversial figures of their time in this provocative and emotionally-charged volume.
