'Felicity and Barbara Pym' focuses on the life of 20th-century novelist Barbara Pym who, despite early success and continuing popularity, was unable to find a publisher for her richly comic novels - until Philip Larkin nominated her as 'the most underrated writer of the century'. A beautifully observed blend of fiction and non-fiction, Harrison Solow's book is written as a series of letters from teacher Ethan Cooper to his student Felicity, as she discovers Pym's work. Through Felicity's eyes we are treated to a fresh view of our favourite novelists: George Eliot, Jane Austen, D H Lawrence and of course, Barbara Pym.
