‘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. Meeting the Radlett family again in the 21st century was an absolute a treat, rather like hearing a new arrangement of beloved old carol and hearing it anew, with trumpets’ Nina Stibbe, author of Reasons to be Cheerful

‘Sheer brilliance. Darling is hilarious and heartbreaking and vivid and clever and utterly compulsive - I absolutely loved it’ Francesca Segal, author of Mother Ship

 'Total escapist bliss. A joyous updating of the Mitford classic. I loved every page' Sabine Durrant, author of Finders, Keepers

‘Darling is a black forest gateau of a book: rich characters, sumptuous prose, delicious dialogue, and layered throughout with sharp wit and intelligence (which are even better than the cherry liqueur the gateau calls for). Somehow, India Knight’s writing manages to be hilarious, melancholy, insightful, and romantic all at the same time. Treat yourself to this novel’ Katherine Heiny, author of Early Morning Riser

‘I completely and utterly loved Darling from the first page to the last. It's howlingly funny in places, brutally sad (but true!) in others, so well observed and written with such cleverness, charm and love. She has an eye like a magpie for those strange English behaviours and is the only writer who could have written this wonderful, wonderful novel’ Sophia Money Coutts, author of Did you Miss Me?
