En una tranquila ciudad universitaria, Caro Grimstone, una esposa de profesor insatisfecha, se convierte en cómplice involuntaria de las ambiciones de su marido Alan. Cuando se ofrece como lectora a un antropólogo ciego y estimado, Alan aprovecha la oportunidad para robar sus documentos, una investigación que podría avanzar su reputación al tiempo que refuta los hallazgos de un colega respetado. Esta encantadora comedia de costumbres con un toque de misterio es territorio de Barbara Pym.
Barbara Mary Crampton Pym was an English novelist. In the 1950s, she published a series of social comedies, of which the best known are Excellent Women (1952) and A Glass of Blessings (1958). After a period of rejection by publishers, her career was revived in 1977 when the critic Lord David Cecil and the poet Philip Larkin nominated her as the most underrated writer of the previous 75 years. Her novel Quartet in Autumn (1977) was nominated for the Booker Prize that year, and she was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
