''A savagely funny, bracingly sad, dazzlingly clever reimagining of The Pursuit of Love. I loved it'' Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss
''A triumph! Brilliantly done, faithful but imaginative, tremendously romantic and very funny'' Nina Stibbe, author of Reasons to be Cheerful
*****************
Marooned in a sprawling farmhouse in Norfolk, teenage Linda Radlett feels herself destined for greater things. She longs for love, but how will she ever find it? She can''t even get a signal on her mobile phone.
Eventually Linda does find her way out from the bosom of her deeply eccentric extended family, and she escapes to London. She knows she doesn''t want to marry ''a man who looks like a pudding'', as her good and dull sister Louisa has done, and marries the flashy, handsome son of a UKIP peer instead.
But this is only the beginning of Linda''s pursuit of love, a journey that will be wilder, more surprising and more complicated than she could ever have imagined.
A razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud novel that re-imagines the cast of Nancy Mitford''s The Pursuit of Love.

''Darling is a black forest gateau of a book: rich characters, sumptuous prose, delicious dialogue, and layered throughout with sharp wit and intelligence ... Treat yourself to this novel'' Katherine Heiny, author of Early Morning Riser
