Owing a debt to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Barbara Pym's An
Unsuitable Attachment is an elegant and witty comedy of manners
from an acclaimed author who Philip Larkin called 'the most
underrated novelist of the century'. 'I'm a huge fan of Barbara
Pym' - Richard Osman, author of The Thursday Murder Club 'The day
comes in the life of every single man living alone when he must
give a dinner party.' The parish of St Basil, on the fringes of
North Kensington, is all of a flutter due to the arrival of Rupert
Stonebird, a most eligible bachelor, in the neighbourhood. The
local matchmakers are sure he will make a suitable husband for the
vicar's wife's sister, Penny, or perhaps for local librarian Ianthe
Broome? But Ianthe is in danger of forming a most unsuitable
attachment to her new library assistant, John, a man of
questionable background with not a penny to his name . . . 'Barbara
Pym is one of my most favourite novelists. Few other writers have
given me more laughter and more pleasure' - Jilly Cooper, author of
The Rutshire Chronicles
