Le Pitch

Ianthe, approaching thirty, is attractive, intelligent, and elegant, but still unmarried. When a young man finally shows interest in her, marriage proposals suddenly start pouring in. Meanwhile, Penelope, a young beatnik with a pre-Raphaelite face, is desperately waiting for her soulmate. As for the neighbors, they gossip and scheme, amidst charity sales and a trip to Rome. Set in the northern suburbs of London, the author portrays a cohort of characters, from pastors and vicars to old maids and civil servants, with both tenderness and irony. Barbara Pym skillfully explores the different desires and expectations of men and women in a society where appearances and social norms play a significant role. Afficher moinsAfficher plus
