Books like An Academic Question

Finished in one sitting! Another wonderful trip into Barbara Pym's cosy (i think she says the word "cosy" about 20 times). This time, we follow Caro and her husband Alan, a junior lecturer at the local University who is desperate to sort out a disagreement with his soon-to-retire professor regarding some source material that is kept in a box in an old people's home. Caro is dragged into this mess haphazardly as she volunteers to go to read to the old folks at the home, whilst also discovering her husband is having an affair with a younger woman and confiding in her a-sexual friend Coco. Pym is just a wonderful writer, she is so bright, witty and perceptive and this is my third book of hers that I've picked up and chuckled all the way through.
