- Synopsis
- FICTION. Written 1963, published posthumously 1982, this comedy of manners--Barbara Pym's seventh novel and the last one she wrote before a fifteen-year silence, when she gave up writing novels altogether, a hiatus broken only in 1977--is set in the parish of St. Basil's Church in a slightly unfashionable quarter of London. The vicar, Mark Ainger, his wife Sophia, her sister Penelope, a new arrival to the parish named Rupert Stonebird, and a gentlewoman named Ianthe Broome fret over improbable attachments and embark on a holiday to Rome that will prove decisive to them all. "Certainly one of her best, witty, elegant, suggesting beyond its miniature exactness the vast panorama of a vanished civilization."--New York Times Book Review
