Review:
Barbara Pym's unpretentious, subtle, accomplished novels . . . are for me the finest examples of high comedy to have appeared in England during the past 75 years...spectacular (Sunday Times)
Barbara Pym has a sharp eye for the exact nuances of social behaviour (The Times)
The wit and style of a twentieth century Jane Austen (Harpers & Queen)
Very funny and keenly observant of the ridiculous as well as the pathetic in humanity (Financial Times)
A spare masterpiece of loneliness in retirement (Telegraph)
Quartet in Autumn is immeasurably her finest work of fiction (Evening Standard)
An alert miniaturist ... her novels have a distinctive flavour, as instantly recognisable as lapsang tea (Daily Telegraph)
