Description
Over the years, as Barbara Pym replaced Nancy Mitford, Georgette Heyer, even Jane Austen, as my most loved author, I devoured all her books, but Jane and Prudence remains my favourite. Even an umpteenth reading this weekend was punctuated by gasps of joy, laughter and wonder that this lovely book should remain so fresh, funny and true to life" - Jilly Cooper
"The setting of this very funny novel, one of Barbara Pym's earliest, is an English village where Jane's husband is the newly appointed vicar, and where Prudence will pay Jane a visit and find herself courted by a fatuous young widower. Prudence, at twenty-nine, has achieved nothing in life but a dull research job in London and a string of dud affairs; Jane, now in her forties, was Prudence's tutor at Oxford. Jane cheerfully concedes that she is an incompetent housewife, but she hopes that the move to a rural parish may transform her into a Trollopean vicar's wife, as well as a crafty matchmaker. There are many comic complications here, as Jane learns that matchmaking has as many pitfalls as does housewifery" - The New Yorker

Cartoonish reading
A really good book, but the reading is annoying. Every character is voiced as an exaggerated caricature.

Bizarre Narration
This is an excellent novel, but the narration is very disappointing. Dialogue is delivered with such drama that every character appears bizarre. It’s odd that when not reading dialogue, the narrator has a voice, with a natural rhythm, emphasis and speed. I don’t understand why the dialogue had to be so wholly unnatural. It spoiled the book for me and I returned it and will try to listen to Mary Sarah’s version, although that also has very negative reviews. Such a noted writer as Barbara Pym deserves the same quality narrators as Jane Austen, Anthony Trollope, and so many other great British writers.
