INTRODUCED BY SALLEY VICKERS 'I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym'
RICHARD OSMAN 'She is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of
the heart-breaking silliness of everyday life' ANNE TYLER Catherine
Oliphant is a writer and lives with handsome anthropologist Tom
Mallow. Their relationship runs into trouble when he begins a
romance with student Deirdre Swann, so Catherine turns her
attention to the reclusive anthropologist Alaric Lydgate, who has a
fondness for wearing African masks. Added to this love tangle are
the activities of Deirdre's fellow students and their attempts to
win the competition for a research grant. The course of true love
or academia never did run smooth. 'Her best [novels] are sheer
delight, and all of them companionable. Quiet, paradoxical, funny
and sad, they have the iron in them of permanence too' JOHN UPDIKE,
NEW YORKER 'She can be seriously, hilariously funny - no other
novelist has celebrated our national silliness with such
exuberance' KATE SAUNDERS
