Press Reviews

• Philip Larkin

  I'd sooner read a new Barbara Pym than a new Jane Austen

• Shirley Hazzard

  One of her very best - comic, heartrending, brave; in short, like life itself

• Jilly Cooper

  No novelist brings more telling observation or more gentle pleasure

• John Betjeman

  A splendid humorous writer

• Richard Osman

  I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym
