She longs for love, but how will she ever find it? She can't even get a signal on her mobile phone. Linda's strict, former rock star father terrifies any potential suitors away, while her bohemian mother, wafting around in silver jewelry, answers Linda's urgent questions about love with upsettingly vivid allusions to animal husbandry.    Eventually, Linda does find her way out from the bosom of her deeply eccentric extended family and 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 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\"     Fans of Nancy Mitford's \"The Pursuit of Love\" will adore this brilliant contemporary take. The writing is as sharp, the details as perfect, the jokes as funny as the original.    Daily Mail     Beautifully and meticulously done.
