Nancy Mitford's Pursuit of Love is a pleasure as intense as inheriting a perfect pearl necklace, or finding a silk dress in a vintage shop that fits like a glove. Mitford's semi-autobiographical book chronicles a pre-war world stuffed with madly eccentric family members, tortuous love-affairs, fur coats, balls and sparkling chat that slips down as easy as a glass of champagne. I genuinely don't know anyone who doesn't love it.
