Reviews

I'd sooner read a new Barbara Pym than a new Jane Austen . . . The subtlest of her books - the sparkle on first acquaintance has been succeeded by the deeper brilliance of established art
Philip Larkin
My favourite writer . . . I pick up her books with joy, as though I were meeting an old, dear friend who comforts me, extends my vision and makes me roar with laughter
Jilly Cooper
There is a thrill of humanity through all her work
Shirley Hazzard
[Pym] makes me smile, laugh out loud, consider my own foibles and fantasies, and above all, suffer real regret when I reach the final page. Of how many authors can you honestly say that?
Mavis Cheek
Another instalment in America's exposure to the Pyro revival, which began in England in 1976 and happily arrived here in 1978 . . . Essential reading for Pym's growing readership on this side of the Atlantic
Kirkus Reviews
I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym
Richard Osman
Barbara Pym is the rarest of treasures
Anne Tyler
A modern Jane Austen
Alexander McCall Smith
