Nancy Mitford wurde am 28. November 1904 als Tochter David Mitfords, des zweiten Baron Redesdale, in London geboren. Sie war das älteste seiner sieben Kinder und eine der berühmt-berüchtigten Mitford-Sisters. Schon früh machte sich Nancy einen Namen als geistreiche und scharfsinnige Beobachterin der Aristokratie und des Zeitgeschehens. 1946 ging sie aus Liebe zu Gaston Palewski, einem engen Mitarbeiter de Gaulles nach Paris. Dort entstanden ihre berühmtesten Romane: „Englische Liebschaften“ (The Pursuit of Love, 1945) und „Liebe unter kaltem Himmel“ (Love in a Cold Climate, 1949). Nancy Mitford starb am 30. Juni 1972 in Versailles.
