Maria P. (BklynMom) - , reviewed on 4/24/2006 + 541 more book reviews

I used to read Barbara Pym for this same slow, nothing-ever-changes depiction of British country life. Matthews picks up the pace somewhat with modern edgy characters,sexual sizzle and obnoxious neighbors in the true Brit "eccentric-but-don't-notice" style. Funny, particularly in the final resolution.
