I have just spent one of the happiest afternoons in ages! Treat yourself to this wonderful adaptation of THE PURSUIT OF LOVE by one of my favorite authors: Nancy Mitford.www.amazon.com/The-Pursuit-of-Love-Trailer/dp/B097FCG69Y/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1CAPTQJA19SJ9&dchild=1&k...
The Pursuit of Love - Season 1
www.amazon.com
The Pursuit of Love follows the friendship between cousins Linda and Fanny, which will be put to the test as Fanny settles for a steady life and Linda decides to follow her heart.
Words that warmed my heart today: "Arlen is an underappreciated historical fiction author who should find elevation from this beautifully written, impeccably researched, penetrating story of another underappreciated personality, Marion Crawford." Thank you to Laurel Ann Nattress of for her tremendously generous and perceptive review on Austenprose - A Jane Austen Blog..
"Arlen’s vivid descriptions bring the reader into the room. This engrossing book willappeal to readers, whether they already know the true story or not!" --Booklist review of IN ROYAL SERVICE TO THE QUEEN.
