Cover design by Orla Kiely Mildred Lathbury is one of those
'excellent women' who is often taken for granted. She is a godsend,
'capable of dealing with most of the stock situations of life -
birth, marriage, death, the successful jumble sales, the garden
fete spoilt by bad weather'. As such, though, she often gets
herself embroiled in other people's lives - and especially those of
her glamorous new neighbours, the Napiers, whose marriage seems to
be on the rocks. One cannot take sides in these matters, though it
is tricky, especially when Mildred, teetering on the edge of
spinsterhood, has a soft spot for dashing young Rockingham Napier.
This is Barbara Pym's world at its funniest and most touching.
