Book Reviews
A startling reminder that solitude may be chosen and that a lively, full novel can be constructed entirely within the precincts of that regressive virtue, feminine patience.
John Updike - The New Yorker
Reading Barbara Pym is...a wonderful experience, full of unduplicable perceptions, sensations, and soul-stirrings.
Newsweek
An unqualifiedly great novel from the writer most likely to be compared to Jane Austen, this is a very funny, perfectly written book that can rival any other in its ability to capture the essence of its characters on the page.
