A la Caza del Amor
Nancy Mitford
Synopsis "A la Caza del Amor"
In her most successful novel, Nancy Mitford uses real-life elements from her extravagant and famous family in order to weave her story. We become acquainted with the different members of the Radlett family: the ill-tempered father Uncle Matthew, the absent and devout mother Sadie, and the seven children who, along with their cousin Fanny, make up a bizarre and entertaining family. But the real focus of this story is young Linda Radlett and her incessant quest for love. Throughout these pages we witness her conquests and meet the men in whom she believes to have found true love. This work showcases the author’s famous satirical genius and her extraordinary ability to reconstruct the environment, lifestyle, and people of the British aristocracy. This is a smart and entertaining book that, in addition to being a vibrant and biting novel, is also a true slice of life. En su novela de mayor éxito Nancy Mitford utiliza elementos reales de su extravagante y famosa familia para construir su relato. Ante nuestros ojos van desfilando los distintos miembros de la familia Radlett: el malhumorado padre Tío Matthew, la ausente y devota madre Sadie, y los siete hijos que junto a su prima Fanny forman una estrafalaria y divertidísima familia. Pero el auténtico centro de esta historia es la joven Linda Radlett y su constante búsqueda del amor. A través de estas páginas la acompañaremos en sus azarosas conquistas y conoceremos a los distintos hombres en los que creyó encontrar el amor. El texto despliega el famoso ingenio satírico y la extraordinaria capacidad de la autora para reconstruir el ambiente, la vida y las personas en los círculos aristocráticos ingleses. Éste es un libro inteligente y divertido, que, además de ser una novela vibrante y mordaz, es también un verdadero trozo de vida.
