Synopsis:
How to describe Felicity & Barbara PymIt s about literature. It s about reading. It s about writing. It s about becoming educated, about not assuming things aren t happening just because you don t see them happening, about not ever believing that language is a true vehicle for communication and it s about knowing that sometimes, in order to get a true education, you have to turn to your butcher.
A beautifully observed blend between fiction and non-fiction, Harrison Solow s book is written as a series of letters from teacher Mallory Cooper to her student Felicity, as she discovers Pym s work. In their letters to each other, narrator and student discuss and debate British literary fiction and discover together, and through Felicity s eyes we are treated to a fresh view of our favourite novelists: George Eliot, Jane Austen, D. H. Lawrence and, of course, Barbara Pym.
About the Author: American writer Harrison Solow has received many awards for her literary fiction. She lives in California with her husband, Herbert F. Solowand their two sons.
