LESS THAN ANGELS - BARBARA PYM TASCHENBUCH

INTRODUCED BY SALLEY VICKERS 'Her best [novels] are sheer delight  and all of them
companionable. Quiet  paradoxical  funny and sad  they have the iron in them of permanence too'
JOHN UPDIKE  NEW YORKER Catherine Oliphant is a writer and lives with handsome anthropologist
Tom Mallow. Their relationship runs into trouble when he begins a romance with student Deirdre
Swann  so Catherine turns her attention to the reclusive anthropologist Alaric Lydgate  who has
a fondness for wearing African masks. Added to this love tangle are the activities of Deirdre's
fellow students and their attempts to win the competition for a research grant. The course of
true love or academia never did run smooth. 'She can be seriously  hilariously funny - no other
novelist has celebrated our national silliness with such exuberance' KATE SAUNDERS 'I am a huge
fan of Barbara Pym' RICHARD OSMAN
