    <body><![CDATA[    British author Barbara Pym is a treasure. Initially, her books seem like dry, straight-forward accounts of spinsters and ministers' wives. Very civilized and detailed, the plots weave in and out of the different characters' thoughts as they unfold.<br/>   Set close to the WWII period, this book...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33912075">more...</a>]]></body>

Both are Oxford graduates; neither's life has quite gone as expected nor as hoped. The mores of postwar society are put under the microscope and dissected with wit.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72107902">more...</a>]]></body>
