An Unsuitable Attachment
The wonderful thing about Barbara Pym is her ability to take believable characters and have them do such queer things in such a delightful way. Her legacy of seeing slightly askew gave John Updike, Anita Brookner and a whole raft of writers the courage to carry on. An Unsuitable Attachment is set in a parish outside of London. There the novel's "unattached" characters work out a confusing web of matchmaking and forming attachments. A new eligible bachelor in the neighborhood, Rupert Stonebird, finds himself choosing between two very different women.
Emma Wood, handsome, clever and rich, has a perfect life. She has decided never to get married but to live as the mistress of Hartfield, her father's house in the beautiful English countryside. But when she starts matchmaking she finds her imagination has led her into danger.
