Some Tame Gazelle de Barbara Pym

Some Tame Gazelle: Virago Modern Classics

Autor Barbara Pym Introducere de Mavis Cheek
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iun 2022
INTRODUCED BY MAVIS CHEEK

'I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym' Richard Osman

'She is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heartbreaking silliness of everyday life' Anne Tyler

Together yet alone, the Misses Bede occupy the central crossroads of parish life. Harriet, plump, elegant and jolly, likes nothing better than to make a fuss of new curates, secure in the knowledge that Count Ricardo Bianco will propose to her yet again this year. Belinda, meanwhile, has harboured sober feelings of devotion towards Archdeacon Hoccleve for thirty years.

Then into their quiet, comfortable lives comes a famous librarian, Nathaniel Mold, and a bishop from Africa, Theodore Grote - who each takes to calling on the sisters for rather more unsettling reasons.

'Some Tame Gazelle is my personal favourite for its sparkling high comedy and its treasury of characters . . . [Pym] makes me smile, laugh out loud, consider my own foibles and fantasies, and, above all, suffer real regret when I reach the final page. Of how many authors can you honestly say that?'

Some Tame Gazelle is my personal favourite for its sparkling high comedy and its treasury of characters . . . [Pym] makes me smile, laugh out loud, consider my own foibles and fantasies, and, above all, suffer real regret when I reach the final page. Of how many authors can you honestly say that?
I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym
She is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heartbreaking silliness of everyday life
I'd sooner read a new Barbara Pym than a new Jane Austen
A splendid humorous writer

Notă biografică

Barbara Pym (1913ߝ1980) was a bestselling and award-winning English novelist. Her first book, Some Tame Gazelle (1950), launched her career as a writer beloved for her social comedies of class and manners. Pym is the only author to be named twice in a Times Literary Supplement list of “the most underrated novelists of the century.” She produced thirteen novels, the last three published posthumously. Her 1977 novel Quartet in Autumn was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
