Book: Less than angels
Mar. 15th, 2011 08:34 pmAuthor: Barbara Pym
Details: (c) Barbara Pym 1955; Pub 2010 Virago; ISBN 978-1-84408-581-1
Verdict: Less than angels is amusing in a slightly dated way.
Reasons for reading it: I don't always love Pym, but sometimes I'm just in the mood for that slightly acerbic humour that was popular among some female mimetic novelists in the middle of the 20th century, and Pym usually exemplifies it well. Also, um, I have something of a crush on an anthropologist so I was drawn to a book set in an academic anthropology department.
How it came into my hands: Library.
