Reviews
I am a huge fan of Barbara Pym
She is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heartbreaking silliness of everyday life
A splendid humorous writer
There is a thrill of humanity through all her work
A modern Jane Austen
My favourite writer . . . I pick up her books with joy
Beneath the gentle surfaces of her novels is a slow-building comedy, salt wit in a saline drip
