  • "Polly Hampton has long been groomed for the perfect marriage by her mother, the fearsome and ambitious Lady Montdore. But Polly, with her stunning good looks and impeccable connections, is bored by the monotony of her glittering debut season in London."
  • "The monotony of the Season, is taking the starch out of even the fabulously fashionable Polly Hampton. Groomed for the perfect marriage by her mother, fearsome Lady Montdore, Polly instead scandalizes society by declaring her love for her uncle 'Boy' Dougdale, the Lecherous Lecturer, and promptly eloping to France. But the consequences of this union no one could quite expect."
  • "For Fanny Logan it is a simple matter of falling for a good man and marrying him. It is a different matter for ice-cold Polly Hampton. Her mother Lady Montdore has trained her daughter for marriage which she sees as 'by far the most suitable career for any woman' - and despairs of the headstrong Polly, failing to understand why her beautiful, well-bred daughter turns up her elegant nose at all the young men provided for her pleasure. When Polly does choose to marry, her choice of husband shocks her ambitious mother to the core."

  • ""Polly Hampton has long been groomed for the perfect marriage by her mother, the fearsome and ambitious Lady Montdore. But Polly, with her stunning good looks and impeccable connections, is bored by the monotony of her glittering debut season in London. Having just come from India, where her father served as Viceroy, she claims to have hoped that society in a colder climate would be less obsessed with love affairs. The apparently aloof and indifferent Polly has a long-held secret, however, one that leads to the shattering of her mother's dreams and her own disinheritance. When an elderly duke begins pursuing the disgraced Polly and a callow potential heir curries favor with her parents, nothing goes as expected, but in the end all find happiness in their own unconventional ways."--Page 4 of cover."
  • "Nancy Mitford's Love in a Cold Climate is a wickedly funny satire, brilliantly lampooning upper-class society. When Polly, a beautiful aristocrat, declares her love for her married, lecherous uncle - who also happens to be her mother's former lover - she sparks off a scandal that has both disastrous and delicious consequences."
