A Few Green Leaves
Low stock: 1 left
A classic comedy of manners from Barbara Pym, acclaimed author of Quartet in Autumn.
Barbara Pym was an incomparable chronicler of ordinary, quiet lives. With warmth, humour, precision and great vividness, she gave her best characters an independent life we recognize as totally familiar. In A Few Green Leaves, her final novel, her heroine is anthropologist Emma Howick. Through her eyes Barbara Pym examines in her own ironic and individual style the quiet revolution in English village life, combining the rural settings of her earliest novels with the themes and characters of her later works.
The result is a compelling portrait of a town that seems to be forgotten by time, but which is unmistakably affected by it. Romance shares the pages with death in this engaging novel that is the culmination of Pym's acclaimed writing career.
