Barbara Pym’s unpretentious, subtle, accomplished novels. . are for me the finest examples of high comedy to have appeared in England during the past 75 years . . . spectacular * The Sunday Times *
Barbara Pym has a sharp eye for the exact nuances of social behaviour * The Times *
The wit and style of a twentieth-century Jane Austen * Harper's & Queen *
Very funny and keenly observant of the ridiculous as well as the pathetic in humanity * Financial Times *
A spare masterpiece of loneliness in retirement * The Telegraph *
Quartet in Autumn is immeasurably her finest work of fiction * Evening Standard *
An alert miniaturist . . . her novels have a distinctive flavour, as instantly recognizable as lapsang tea * The Daily Telegraph *
No novelist brings more telling observation or more gentle pleasure -- Jilly Cooper
