Catherine is one of my favourite Pym heroines, she writes romantic stories for magazines & some of her observations on people she sees in restaurants etc as potential characters are very funny.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-3137993782892745452013-06-09T14:31:17.821+10:002013-06-09T14:31:17.821+10:00My library only has Less than Angels and No Fond R...My library only has Less than Angels and No Fond Return of Love so I will probably start with one of those.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-43295118337717106442013-06-09T13:52:30.866+10:002013-06-09T13:52:30.866+10:00I'd start with Excellent Women or Some Tame Ga...I'd start with Excellent Women or Some Tame Gazelle. If you don't like these, you probably won't be a fan. Lots of people love No Fond Return of Love but I've never warmed to Dulcie & Viola. It's been a long time since I read it so I must give them another try one day. It must be me!lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-60962613380829927952013-06-09T11:05:17.727+10:002013-06-09T11:05:17.727+10:00I've been seeing lots of posts about Barbara P...I've been seeing lots of posts about Barbara Pym recently.

It was good to have a reason to reread this one though.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-1777712258284861572013-06-07T00:24:19.197+10:002013-06-07T00:24:19.197+10:00I've just re-read this too.

I'm mulling over my thoughts on it before posting about it.GeraniumCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010199887691558717noreply@blogger.com
