My personal opinion is that she just just not be with anyone because I don't think she is emotionally mature enough at the moment.įurthermore, the whole book was about her flip flopping between the two. How can Evie profess to love Jack and then admit to Selena that she is falling for Aric? That is not realistic. I found the love triangle utterly ridiculous and rather immature.

This time round the BBC has covered the same ground in 150 minutes. Much funnier and much less pretentious than 'Brideshead Revisited' it no doubt did for respect of the aristocracy what Jack the Ripper did for blind dates, but it was a great romp nonetheless. Nancy Mitford's two delightful novels, 'The Pursuit of Love' and 'Love in a Cold Climate' were beautifully if rather slowly realised in 6 x 50 minutes episodes by Thames Television 20 years ago in a production so vivid that much from it still lingers in my memory. ![]() |
