BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR INTRODUCED BY JILLY COOPER
'I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym' RICHARD OSMAN 'I devoured all her
books, but Jane and Prudence remains my favourite' JILLY COOPER
'Barbara Pym is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the
heartbreaking silliness of everyday life' ANNE TYLER If Jane
Cleveland and Prudence Bates seem an unlikely pair to be walking
together at an Oxford reunion, neither of them is aware of it. They
couldn't be more different: Jane is a rather incompetent vicar's
wife, who always looks as if she is about to feed the chickens,
while Prudence, a pristine hothouse flower, has the most unsuitable
affairs. With the move to a rural parish, Jane is determined to
find her friend the perfect man. She learns, though, that
matchmaking has as many pitfalls as housewifery. 'This comedy of
manners is a salutary reminder of just how good Barbara Pym was . .
. This book is a gem' THE TIMES
