  • ASIN: Amazon.com An unqualifiedly great novel from the writer most likely to be compared to Jane Austen, this is a very funny, perfectly written book that can rival any other in its ability to capture the essence of its characters on the page. Mildred Lathbury, the narrator of Pym's excellent book is a never-married woman in her 30swhich in 1950s England makes her a nearly-confirmed spinster. Hers is a pretty unexciting life, centered around her small church, and part-time job. But Mildred is far more perceptive and witty than even she seems to think, and when Helena and Rockingham Napier move into the flat below her, there seems to be a chance for her life to take a new direction.

    Pym was born in Oswestry Shropshire . She was privately educated at Queen’s Park School, a girls' school in Oswestry and from the age of twelve attended Huyton College , near Liverpool . After studying English at St Hilda's College, Oxford , she served in the Women's Royal Naval Service during World War II . Her literary career is noteworthy because of the long hiatus between 1963 and 1977, when, despite early success and continuing popularity, she was unable to find a publisher for her richly comic novels. The turning point for Pym came with an influential article in the Times Literary Supplement in which two prominent names, Lord David Cecil and Philip Larkin , nominated her as the most underrated writer of the century. Pym and Larkin had kept up a private correspondence over a period of many years. Her comeback novel, Quartet in Autumn , was nominated for the Booker Prize . Another novel

    Barbara Mary Crampton Pym was born in Oswestry, Shropshire, the 2nd of June 1913, from Frederic Crampton Pym, solicitor, and Irena Spenser Thomas. She studied at the Huyton College, in Liverpool, and readed English at the St. Hilda's College in Oxford (B.A. "with honors"). During II World War she worked for Censorship (as Mildred does in Excellent Women ) then served in the Women's Royal Naval Service, in Britain and in Naples. From 1946 to 1974 she worked at the International African Institute where she was assistant editor of the anthropological journal Africa Her first novel, Some Tame Gazelle , was published in 1950, followed by five more books. In 1963 the new chief editor of her publisher rejected An Unsuitable Attachment , because, as he wrote, "in present conditions we could not sell a sufficient number of copies to cover costs". In 1969 she sent The Sweet Dove Died , written in 1968, to many publishers, with no success. Discouraged, she stopped writing.

    A Few Green Leaves
    Barbara Pym
    Grafton 1981 A book review by Danny Yee Anthropologist Emma Howick has come to the village where her mother lives with no real goal, just vague thoughts of writing something about English village life. Disturbed only by visits from an ex-lover, she settles into the local community, getting to know the two doctors and their wives, the vicar and his sister, some spinsters, a food critic, and a pair of bohemian academics. And that's pretty much the plot of A Few Green Leaves . No one is murdered, there is no more than a hint at romance, and the biggest drama comes when the elderly woman who used to tutor the children in the manor comes visiting from London and is briefly lost in the woods. Pym is only teasing the reader with her hints at genre fiction, however, and once I stopped waiting for a body to be found A Few Green Leaves rather grew on me. It is a delicate miniature, but it offers subtle comedy, with a nice turn in irony and some sharp insights, even if these are delivered so gently they are easy to miss. Pym's model is obviously Jane Austen ("3 or 4 Families in a Country village is the very thing to work on") and like her she fits a surprising amount into a limited canvas. But the world Pym describes is, unlike Austen's, fragile and in flux: the manor is no longer occupied, new bungalows have been built, and the outside world unavoidably intrudes. December 2001
