Description
Darkly funny and full of stubborn optimism, Quartet in Autumn is a classic. Showing Barbara Pym at her very best, it portrays the strange and wonderful quirks of everyday life. 'Spectacular' - The Sunday Times 'Quartet in Autumn is immeasurably her finest work of fiction' - Evening Standard 'Barbara Pym has a sharp eye for the exact nuances of social behaviour' - The Times In 1970s London, Edwin, Norman, Letty and Marcia work in the same office and suffer the same problem - loneliness. Lovingly and with delightful humour, Barbara Pym conducts us through their day-to-day existence: their preoccupations, their irritations, their judgements, and - perhaps most keenly felt - their worries about having somehow missed out on life as post-war Britain shifted around them. Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
