As far as we know. I presume her daughter still cannot live with her as she chose to side with the p*edophile.

Apart from the victims in this, the daughter is who I feel sorry for. Imagine your mum choosing someone like that over you?

And the gall to write that column about age differences in relationships

I swear a lot of her columns are actually just trolling, I cannot believe she gets away with it
 
What exactly is the point of her? Who is she appealing to with her columns? Maybe that small band of middle-aged, middle-class females who absolutely hate other women unless they are exactly like them, but surely not enough to sustain a column in a national newspaper?
 
I followed IK on Twitter from the beginning and saw the very many lows. Pissed late at night and ranting at women she thought were after E - as she referred. Then the big move to Suffolk, E out of London and away from potential trouble or so she thought. She has put everything on the line to preserve the relationship including her own kids by the look of it. And likely her friends. She made her usual random Twitter appearance to flog her latest book (well late to put the E drama behind her) and it was interesting to see who didn’t offer up the usual happy publication day guff. Sali H and Caitlin M for two.
 
What a coincidence! Especially as I can’t imagine middle aged men are India’s target audience.

Isn’t he the father of her daughter that can’t live with her because her partner is a convicted sex offender though? Bizarre.

Well the Mitfords had actual fascists in their ranks, but Nancy Mitford was not one of them and I'm sure her writing beats whatever drivel India Knight produces in her new book. I thought The Pursuit of Love was insightful and witty. I also liked Love in a Cold Climate, however I should point out, in light of the discussion here, it contains a lighthearted (!) depiction of a character whose antics should land him in prison. So yeah, I see why India Knight might be a fan.

Of course India would be a fan. But I would bet the Hons' Cupboard that Nancy would rip her to shreds with a vicious caricature. The Mitfords were such snobs - even Jessica the "Communist" - that they sneered at the Queen Mother and called her "Cookie" because she looked like a fat cook. (This is probably one of my favourite things about them.) Do imagine what they would make of the waffle-faced Belgian beauty writer and her pedalo beau. Rewriting Nancy is just asking for an acid putdown.

Actually, I would love a mini-series about the Mitfords - a proper old-school BBC period drama with loads of style and a HUGE budget, and now I'm going to imagine my fantasy cast and crew. What larks!
