INTRODUCED BY ALEXANDER McCALL SMITH 'I'm a huge fan of Barbara
Pym' RICHARD OSMAN Mildred Lathbury is one of those excellent women
who are often taken for granted. She is a godsend, 'capable of
dealing with most of the stock situations or even the great moments
of life - birth, marriage, death, the successful jumble sale, the
garden fete spoilt by bad weather'. Her glamorous new neighbours,
the Napiers, seem to be facing a marital crisis. One cannot take
sides in these matters, though it is tricky, especially as Mildred
has a soft spot for dashing young Rockingham Napier. This is
Barbara Pym's world at its funniest and most touching. 'One of the
most endearingly amusing English novels of the twentieth century'
ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH 'Barbara Pym is the rarest of treasures; she
reminds us of the heartbreaking silliness of everyday life' ANNE
TYLER 'Why shouldn't the lives of cardigan-wearing spinsters and
fussy confirmed bachelors be the engines of some of the finest
comic writing in English? Not only was Pym a comic genius but she
was ever so wise' THE TIMES
