Love in a Cold Climate is a novel by Nancy Mitford, first published in 1949. The title is a phrase from George Orwell's novel Keep the Aspidistra Flying (1936), but it in turn was based on a sentence in a 1797 letter by Robert Southey: She has made me in love with a cold climate, and frost and snow, with a northern moonlight. He was referring to Mary Wollstonecraft's correspondence from Sweden and Norway. Love in a Cold Climate is a companion volume to The Pursuit of Love. The time frame of Love in a Cold Climate is the same as The Pursuit of Love, but the focus is on a different set of characters. Fanny remains the fictional narrator. In The Pursuit of Love, Fanny narrates the story of her cousin Linda Radlett.
