Emma Howick, an aspiring anthropologist, chooses to settle in a sleepy country community in the heart of England, with a view to researching a study on ‘The Social Patterns of a West Oxfordshire Village’. She soon finds herself inextricably caught up in the lives of her new neighbours: Tom Dagnall, the widowed rector who is passionate about local history; Tom’s dominating and frustrated sister, Daphne, whose ambitions are to own a dog and escape to a Greek island; Adam Prince, a fastidious and self-indulgent good food inspector; Sir Miles, the elusive local squire; and last but not least, the genteel spinsters, Misses Lee, Grundy and Lickerish.
In 'A Few Green Leaves', Barbara Pym chronicles everyday life with her inimitable warmth and humour, creating an incomparable, vivid portrait of English village society.
“Her sense of humour is as strong as ever. The set pieces are as witty, or wittier, than anything she has ever written.”
FINANCIAL TIMES
“Miss Pym’s characters are human and warm and vulnerable ... they establish themselves immediately, they stay in the mind. This is a book to be taken slowly and easily ... there are epiphanies in it, showings-forth of joy.”
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
“She has a connoisseur’s eye for the absurd, almost disconcerting candour, and the ability to note shortcomings with amused equanimity.”
THE LISTENER
Also available in Flamingo: 'Civil to Strangers', 'The Sweet Dove Died' and 'Quartet in Autumn'.
