Marooned in a sprawling farmhouse in Norfolk, teenage Linda Radlett feels herself destined for greater things.

In Darling, India Knight reimagines the cast of Nancy Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love.

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 triumph! Brilliantly done, faithful but imaginative, tremendously romantic and very funny’ Nina Stibbe
