Civil to Strangers es una novela de Barbara Pym que ofrece una mirada cálida y ingeniosa a la vida rural inglesa. La historia sigue a Cassandra y Adam, una joven pareja cuyo matrimonio se ve alterado por la llegada de un misterioso húngaro a su pueblo. Cassandra, una mujer excelente, busca escapar de su monótona vida, mientras que Adam, un escritor egocéntrico, se enfrenta a la agitación local. Esta obra, meticulosamente escrita, destaca por sus observaciones sociales y personajes excéntricos, capturando la esencia del estilo único de 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.
