Nancy Mitford's razor-sharp wit shines in this uproarious novel about love and coming-of-age, now adapted into a major BBC and Prime Video series helmed by Emily Mortimer, featuring Lily James, Andrew Scott, and Dominic West. The story follows Linda, her sisters, and cousin Fanny as they navigate the tedious wait for adulthood, their hearts set on finding the perfect paramour.

Inspired by Fanny's mother, nicknamed 'The Bolter' for abandoning her children in pursuit of a more glamorous life, the girls believe they're destined for greatness in love. However, their quest for Mr Right proves far more challenging than anticipated. Linda's journey takes her through marriages to a dull Tory MP and a handsome yet humourless communist before she discovers true love amidst the chaos of war-torn Paris.

Mitford's wickedly funny saga continues in 'Love in a Cold Climate' and 'Don't Tell Alfred', promising more delightful misadventures and sharp observations on love and society. Critics have hailed the novel as "utter, utter bliss" (Daily Mail) and "peerless" (Zoe Heller), while Caitlin Moran likens the pleasure of reading it to "inheriting a perfect pearl necklace, or finding a silk dress in a vintage shop that fits like a glove" (Harper's Bazaar).

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
