INTRODUCED BY HAZEL HOLT 'I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym' Richard
Osman 'I'd sooner read a new Barbara Pym than a new Jane Austen'
Philip Larkin When Barbara Pym died in 1980, she left a
considerable amount of unpublished material. This volume contains
an early novel, Civil to Strangers, three novellas and an
autobiographical essay, 'Finding a Voice', Pym's only written
comment on her writing career. In Civil to Strangers, the lives of
a young couple, Cassandra Marsh-Gibbon and her self-absorbed writer
husband Adam, are thrown into upheaval when a mysterious Hungarian
arrives in their village. 'A sublime social comedy . . . It exists
inside the Pym Eden of safety, silliness and a kind of subdued
hilarity. Look out for one of her best curates - the starchy,
spinster-dodging Mr Paladin - and a typically deliciously
insensitive vicar' KATE SAUNDERS, THE TIMES 'Brilliant, hilarious,
poignant and so very, very English' TIME
