Sweet Dove Died by Barbara Pym
Between the amorous antique dealer Humphrey and his good-looking nephew James glides the magnificent Leonora, delicate as porcelain, cool as ice. Can she keep James in her thrall? Or will he be taken from her by a lover, like Phoebe . . . or Ned, the wicked American? 'A highly distinctive and - ultimately - charitable novel' Financial Times 'Faultless' Guardian 'Her Characters are all meticulously impaled on the delicate pins of a wit that is as scrupulous as it is deadly' Observer 'A coldly funny book' Sunday Telegraph 'Highly distinctive . . . the critics who have recently insisted on Miss Pym's too long neglected gifts have not been wrong' Financial TimesBARBARA PYM, a writer from the age of sixteen, has been dubbed the most undervalued writer of the century (Philip Larkin). Pym's illustrious name grew during the course of six books published between 1950 and 1961, then restarted in 1977 with the publication of Quartet in Autumn and three additional works. In 1980, she passed away.
