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 fête 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**
'Not only was Pym a comic genius but she was ever so wise' THE TIMES
