Although they were close friends at Oxford University, Jane and Prudence now live very different lives. At 41, Jane is married to a country vicar, while Prudence maintains a fiercely independent life in London. But Jane has the perfect husband in mind for her former pupil: a widower named Fabian Driver, even as Pru is nursing her own highly inappropriate desire for her older, married, and seemingly oblivious employer, Dr. Grampian. Published in 1953 (the year after the breakthrough, Excellent Women), Barbara Pym's third novel is a witty, delightful story of manners and female bonding.
