An Unsuitable Attachment by Barbara Pym (English) Paperback Book

Description: An Unsuitable Attachment by Barbara Pym From the author of Jane and Prudence, and Excellent Women FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Barbara Pym is one of my most favourite novelists. Few other writers have given me more laughter and more pleasure. Jilly CooperSet in St Basils, an undistinguished North London parish, An Unsuitable Attachment is indeed full of the high comedy for which Barbara Pym is famed. There is Mark Ainger, the vicar, who introduces his sermons with remarks like Those of you who are familiar with the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. His wife Sophia with her cat, I feel sometimes that I cant reach Faustina as Ive reached other cats. Rupert Stonebird, anthropologist and eligible bachelor. The well-bred Ianthe Broome who works at the library and forms an unsuitable attachment with a young man there. The sharp-tongue Mervyn Cantrell, chief librarian, who complains that when books have things spilt on them it is always bottled sauce or gravy of the thickest and most repellent kind rather than something utterly exquisite and delicious. There is also Daisy Pettigrew, the vets sister, another obsessional cat person, and Sister Dew who bears a strong resemblance to Sister Blatt in Excellent Women. Author Biography A writer from the age of sixteen, Barbara Pym has been acclaimed as the most underrated writer of the century (Philip Larkin). Pyms substantial reputation evolved through the publication of six novels from 1950 to 1961, then resumed in 1977 with the publication of Quartet in Autumn and three other novels. She died in 1980.
