Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments Excellent Women, Barbara Pym, 1952, England, NOVEL

"...She examines the social psychology of each situation afterward as if she were inspecting a soapy cup for lingering stains: "My thoughts went round and round and it occurred to me that if I ever wrote a novel it would be of the "stream of consciousness' type and deal with an hour in the life of a woman at the sink."...Honesty, insight, feminism, and some terribly funny remarks are hidden among the teacups and conversations..."

(K.B., p. 215)
