O ovoj e-knjizi
‘Barbara Pym is one of my most favourite novelists. Few other writers have given me more laughter and more pleasure’ - Jilly Cooper, author of The Thursday Murder Club
‘Life is cruel and we do terrible things to each other.’
The lives of Humphrey and James Boyce, a seasoned antique dealer and his good-looking nephew, are changed for ever when the elegant Leonora Eyre glides into their bustling Bond Street salesroom, delicate as porcelain, cool as ice. An impassioned bid lands her a coveted book and two equally enthralled companions.
As the enigmatic Leonora navigates these relationships, others are drawn into her mysterious and intoxicating web, and a world of human complexities and simmering desires is exposed.
Pym brings her unique voice to this darkly comic exploration of love, loneliness and jealousy.
‘I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym’ - Richard Osman, author of The Thursday Murder Club
‘Faultless’ -The Guardian
‘Her characters are all meticulously impaled on the delicate pins of a wit that is as scrupulous as it is deadly’ - The Observer
‘A coldly funny book’ -The Sunday Telegraph
‘Highly distinctive . . . The critics who have recently insisted on Miss Pym’s too long neglected gifts have not been wrong’ - Financial Times

O autoru
Barbara Pym (1913–1980) was a British novelist best known for her series of satirical novels on English middle-class society. A graduate of St. Hilda’s College, Oxford, Pym published the first of her nine novels, Some Tame Gazelle, in 1950, followed by five more books. Despite this early success and continuing popularity, Pym went unpublished from 1963 to 1977. Her work was rediscovered after a famous article in the Times Literary Supplement in which two prominent names, Lord David Cecil and Philip Larkin, nominated Pym as the most underrated writer of the century. Her comeback novel, Quartet in Autumn, was nominated for the Booker Prize.
