Linda, the main character of The Pursuit Of Love, muses when she hears at long last from her lover, "Life...is sometimes sad and often dull, but there are currants in the cake and here is one of them." She might have been talking about this book.
Fanny is matter-of-fact, intelligent, and observant: she spends much of her time with each as she grows up, allowing Mitford a delightful opportunity to write from an insider/outsider perspetive that other authros must envy.

 Diana: In Pursuit of Love
In what is bound to be seen as the most definitive study of the Princess in the most crucial period of her short life, Andrew Morton - the biographer she herself chose - provides the last word on one of the most admired, influential and best-loved figures of our era.
At long last, Diana: In Pursuit Of Love makes sense of the tragic Princess's life as she changed from downtrodden wife and reluctant royal into a self-confident and independent modern woman, an icon of the twenty-first century and, indeed, a 'queen in people's hearts'.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | By genre | Observer review: Diana - In Pursuit of Love by Andrew Morton
The fact that the Princess of Wales had been willing to give an extended, searingly frank interview, through intermediaries, to a freelance journalist she barely knew was an indication of her plight.
Diana: Her True Story was not just a poignant story of princely betrayal and lost love, it was a brilliant piece of investigative journalism, and an instant bestseller that fed the public hunger for news about 'the people's princess'.
After Diana's death in 1997, he recycled his material, but has never described either how he worked the scoop, or reported the inside story of the princess's life after she blew the gaffe.

 Diana: In Pursuit of Love
This isnt as pointless and trashy as one review I read elsewhere had made out, it isnt simply a prurient gawp at Dianas last lovers, in fact it is a well-written, highly respectful and sympathetic overview of the last 5 years of Dianas life.
Highly exasperating though this must have been, Dianas faults still arent that significant on the human scale of naughtiness, and are far outweighed by her good points.
She genuinely seemed to want to love and care for people.

Mitford was born into the British aristocracy, which she satirizes in her novels, notably In Pursuit of Love (1945) and Love in a Cold Climate (1949).
Indeed, her boring, bigoted, illiterate lords and amoral, irresponsible ladies have taken on the qualities of myth.
