The adventures of Miss Barbara Pym : a biography / Paula Byrne.
Renowned biographer and author Paula Byrne brings Barbara Pym back to centre stage as one of the wittiest and greatest English novelists: a generous, shrewdly perceptive writer and a brave woman, who only in the last years of her life was suddenly recognized for her genius. Brimming with new extracts from Pym's diaries, letters and novels, this book is a joyous introduction to a woman who was herself the very best of company.

"Barbara Pym became beloved as one of the wittiest novelists of the late twentieth century, revealing the inner workings of domestic life so brilliantly that her friend Philip Larkin announced her the era's own Jane Austen. But who was Barbara Pym and why was the life of this English writer - one of the greatest chroniclers of the human heart - so defined by rejection, both in her writing and in love?"--Publisher's description. - HARPERCOLL
