Book Reviews of A Lot to Ask: A Life of Barbara Pym (G K Hall Large Print Book Series)

Book Review: a splendid background for Pym's splendid work; biography
Summary: 5 Stars

The restraint and economy with which the author approaches her subject only enhance the richness of the work. With a wealth of detail,Hazel Holt sets the jewel of Pym's works in the setting of her life. For example, paraphrasing: "Hilary and I reckoned up the reasons people had left our parish church: Rome, Death, and Umbrage. Umbrage, of course, removed the greatest number." Those who have enjoyed Pym's work would do well to read this book before other secondary sources.
