Barbara Pym's greatest fan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Barbara Pym is one of my very favorite authors, and this was the only work of hers I had not yet read. Although the spy story was a bit clunky, all the rest was a great pleasure to read, particularly when encountering characters from other stories or novels. Like Jane Austen, to whom Pym is so often compared, the only disappointment arises from the fact that there is no more to read. I've probably read each Pym novel at least three times, and in some cases even more than that. An insightful, comforting, and enjoyable read.
