| Summary |
Spanning a critical historical time from 1929 to 1940, three young women search for love in this high-spirited adaptation of Nancy Mitford's novel. For Fanny it's a simple matter of marrying a decent man, and from her safe domestic haven, she watches as Linda chases love throughout Europe, while the beautiful but icy Polly contracts a marriage that shocks society and breaks her mother's heart. At a time when turmoil sweeps across Europe, the young women leave behind their careless and innocent youth as they pursue love and happiness through places far beyond their expectations. Since Lord and Lady Montdore cannot stop Polly's wedding to Boy Dugdale, they cut her off without a penny. Linda meanwhile is throwing herself into Christian's work and the Communist cause. Polly returns to have her baby, but her marriage to Boy is not happy. When her baby dies, her old friend Lord Paddington comes to the rescue |
