"It would be hard to imagine a more timid world than that of 'Excellent Women,' or a novel wherein closer to nothing happens....[It] is a startling reminder that solitude may be chosen, and that a lively, full novel can be constructed entirely within the precincts of that regressive virtue, feminine patience."
John Updike, New Yorker
Review:"It is said of Barbara Pym...that she is like Jane Austen....What is mostly meant by it is that she is a novelist of manners who writes about marriage and marriageability with the unromantic eye of a noticing, 'positive' spinster. But the comparison can be taken further....'Excellent Women' made me think of 'Mansfield Park'....Mildred's progress is not very different from Fanny's. Here, too, Christian humility is assailed by the talented and untrustworthy..."
Karl Miller, New York Review of Books, 11/09/1978

Excellent Women (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780143104872) Pym, Barbara Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Penguin Books, United States, 2007. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 195 x 131 mm. Brand New Book. "Excellent Women" is one of Barbara Pym's richest and most amusing high comedies. Mildred Lathbury is a clergyman's daughter and a mild-mannered spinster in 1950s England. She is one of those "excellent women," the smart, supportive, repressed women who men take for granted. As Mildred gets embroiled in the lives of her new neighbors--anthropologist Helena Napier and her handsome, dashing husband, Rocky, and Julian Malory, the vicar next door--the novel presents a series of snapshots of human life as actually, and pluckily, lived in a vanishing world of manners and repressed desires.
