A review by caity_c
Love in a Cold Climate by Nancy Mitford
2.0
2 stars
After seeing the book reviewed on The Book Club I decided to read Love In A Cold Climate. Mostly because the title is so lovely and eloquent but the book is far from it. I found it boring, the try at humour pitiful but it is not all bad as I did finish the book and I was glad I got an insight into a pretentious world I hope to never deal with.
To me this book is a take or leave it kind of thing. It is a book that you should read on rainy day when there is nothing else to do. I found it rather long and was glad to finish the book. It was nice to get a sense of what high society was like in the 1940's but then again I don't think Mitford's writing was very realistic about the time period.
