Review
"The most underrated novelist of the century . . . The subtlest of her books--the sparkle on first acquaintance has been succeeded by the deeper brilliance of established art." --Philip Larkin "[Pym] makes me smile, laugh out loud, consider my own foibles and fantasies, and above all, suffer real regret when I reach the final page. Of how many authors can you honestly say that?" --Mavis Cheek "Barbara Pym is the rarest of treasures." --Anne Tyler "My favorite writer . . . I pick up her books with joy, as though I were meeting an old, dear friend who comforts me, extends my vision and makes me roar with laughter." --Jilly Cooper

Seller: Barksdale Books, Almere, Netherlands
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Fair. Wilmet Forsyth is well dressed, well looked after, suitably husbanded, good looking and fairly young - but very bored. Her husband Rodney, a handsome army major, is slightly balder and fatter than he once was. Wilmet would like to think she has changed rather less. Her interest wanders to the nearby Anglo-catholic church, where at last she can neglect her comfortable household in the more serious-minded company of three unmarried priests, and, of course, Piers Longridge, a man of an unfathomably different character altogether.; leeslijntjes, lichte gebruiksspoortjes.
