Produktbeschreibung

INTRODUCED BY PAUL BINDING 'One of her very best - comic, heartrending, brave; in short, like life itself' SHIRLEY HAZZARD 'Pym has a unique eye and ear for the small poignancies and comedies of everyday life . . . [her novels] are miniatures, perhaps, but will not diminish' PHILIP LARKIN Dulcie Mainwaring is always helping others, but never looks out for herself - especially in the realm of love. Her friend Viola is besotted by the alluring Dr Aylwin Forbes, so surely it isn't prying if Dulcie helps things along? Aylwin, however, is smitten with Dulcie's pretty, young niece. And perhaps Dulcie herself, however ridiculous it might be, is falling, just a little, for Aylwin. Once life's little humiliations are played out, maybe love will be returned, and fondly, after all . . . 'No novelist brings more telling observation or more gentle pleasure' JILLY COOPER 'A splendidly humorous writer' JOHN BETJEMAN
