The Pursuit of Love: Now a major series on BBC and Prime Video directed by Emily Mortimer and starring Lily James and Andrew Scott, is a delightful adaptation of Nancy Mitford's classic novel that promises to enchant and amuse.

This captivating tale follows the adventurous journey of Linda, her sisters, and cousin Fanny as they navigate the unpredictable waters of love and the challenges of adulthood. Set in a post-war society, the characters are shaped by the enigmatic influence of Fanny's mother, affectionately known as 'The Bolter.'

Experience the magic of Mitford's storytelling, adorned with:

  • Witty Prose: Indulge in Mitford's razor-sharp humor that delivers laugh-out-loud moments throughout the narrative.
  • Rich Characters: Discover a cast of enchanting characters, each with their own flaws and relatable traits that bring the story to life.
  • Engaging Adaptation: This major series features acclaimed actors, making it a perfect introduction for new audiences to this timeless classic.

Critics have hailed this work as “utter, utter bliss” (Daily Mail) and “peerless” (Zoe Heller). Renowned writer Caitlin Moran draws a beautiful parallel, comparing the joy 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).

Join Linda on her rollercoaster adventures through love and society, and discover why The Pursuit of Love continues to resonate with readers both old and new.

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.’
