I’ve heard a couple people describe Barbara Pym as a modern-day Jane Austen. I love Austen’s books, so I decided to give Pym a try, and I wasn’t disappointed. This book was a very enjoyable read. It’s definitely more character-driven than plot-driven, but I still had a hard time putting it down once I picked it up. I’ll be sure to seek out more of Pym’s work in the future.
