I am always suspicious when authors are compared to Austen. It usually means they produce romances set in the early 19th century - but there is no connection when it comes to writing style or social commentary.
Barbara Pym's novels are different. Here is the gentle humor and cutting insight into the character of men and women that transcends time and place.
