The Blessing

Day 17 of #20Series20Days and I‘m going with my girl, Nancy Mitford.

The Blessing references characters from The Pursuit of Love and other characters later show up in Don‘t Tell Alfred. These two oldies (above š‘†š¸») have the first edition covers designed by Cecil Beaton. ā¯¤ļø¸

Andrew65 Love the covers. 4y

MsMelissa I enjoyed Love in a Cold Climate, and Pursuit of Love. Have Wigs in The Green to read, but I gather that one doesn‘t relate to these? 4y

MaureenMc I need to read Don‘t Tell Alfred! I also saw there‘s a new adaptation of The Pursuit of Love in the works, with Lily James! 4y

LeahBergen @Book_Fiend_Melissa No, that was one of her earlier books (and pokes fun at her sister‘s involvement with Oswald Mosley). I need to find a copy of that one as the only old ones I can find are $350 and up. š 4y

LeahBergen @MaureenMc I just heard about that new adaptation! How exciting! š‘¸š¸»š‘¸š¸» 4y

LeahBergen @CarolynM She‘s such a fave. ā¯¤ļø¸ā¯¤ļø¸ 4y

Happy World Book Day!! I came home from an exhausting day of work to so much book mail that even I was shocked. Not only did my BOTMC selections arrive, but the Faber 20 shorts AND my collection of Nancy Mitford special editions arrived. I‘m feeling blessed by the literary gods today. It‘s going to be a fantastic weekend of reading.

LeahBergen I‘m feeling an urge for some more Mitford soon. Next up for me is Don‘t Tell Alfred. š‘¨š¸» 6y

HardcoverHearts @LeahBergen I‘m hooked! Look at what you have done. š‚ 6y

batsy I've only read Love in a Cold Climate and The Pursuit of Love and adore them ā¯¤ļø¸ 6y

HardcoverHearts @batsy I have been interested in her backstory for some time, since her family is a compelling melodrama with one sister turning into a full fledged, card carrying Nazi! Just this last December, I went to Heywood Hill to buy a book from the place she used to work and see the digs with my own eyes. When I finally read In Pursuit of Love, I finally understood the hype. 6y

batsy Yes, I find their family so fascinating as well! Been meaning to read up on that for some time now. As is always the case, so many other books vie for attention š™ 6y
