INTRODUCED BY KATE SAUNDERS 'I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym' RICHARD
OSMAN 'My favourite writer . . . I pick up her books with joy'
JILLY COOPER In a provincial university town, Caro Grimstone, a
dissatisfied faculty wife, becomes the unwilling accomplice to her
husband Alan's ambitions. When she volunteers to read to a blind,
esteemed anthropologist in a nursing home, Alan seizes the
opportunity to steal his papers - research that could both advance
his reputation while refuting the findings of a respected
colleague. A delightful comedy of manners with a touch of mystery,
An Academic Question is prime Barbara Pym territory. 'She is the
rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heartbreaking silliness
of everyday life' ANNE TYLER 'Beneath the gentle surfaces of her
novels is a slow-building comedy, salt wit in a saline drip' NEW
