Description
Highland Fling by Nancy Mitford is a lighthearted and humorous novel that follows young Jane Dacre to a Scottish castle for a shooting party. There, she encounters a cast of eccentric characters, including formidable Lady Prague, xenophobic General Murgatroyd, and an assortment of other ancient peers. As Jane navigates the moors with her companions, she finds herself falling in love with Albert, a surrealist painter with a mischievous sense of humor. The story is full of witty banter and comedic moments, making it a delightful read. First published in 1931, Highland Fling was Mitford's first novel and marked the beginning of her successful writing career.
