THE PURSUIT OF LOVE

by Nancy Nitford ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 10, 1946

The gay, irresponsible life of a fallen English angle who manages-through-out her wickedness- to remain delightfully charming and refreshingly naive. A collection of mercurial, pathological characters- landed estates- London society- the Spanish Civil War- refugee camps in France- a glamorous flat in glass and velvet in Paris- provide a shifting scene for Linda's ventures in pursuit of love, from marriage to a banker, adherence to a ""cause"", mistress to a French Duke. But the Gostapo disposes of the Duke and Linda dies in childbirth....A merry tale in Byronic tradition, turned out with tongue in check. Values lie more in the telling than the tale.
