When The Pursuit of Love came out in 1945, Evelyn Waugh noted in his diary: “Nancy has written a novel full of exquisite detail of Mitford family life”. Nancy Mitford never found a muse to match her own family. Even later, when she came to write historical biography, starting with her acclaimed Madame de Pompadour, she couldn’t help turning it into a breed of memoir: “I do love it... They were all exactly like ONE,” she wrote in a letter.

When it comes to novel The Pursuit of Love – a new adaptation of which began on BBC One last night, written and directed by Emily Mortimer – the description that springs to mind is “larger than life”. Ironic, then, that Nancy Mitford’s famous tragicomic satire of English aristocracy in the run-up to the Second World War was in fact drawn closely from reality. Her dazzling and deranged characters are loosely disguised portraits of the blue-blooded circles in which she and her infamous sisters mixed.
