Dulcie Mainwearing siempre está ayudando a los demás, pero nunca se preocupa por sí misma, especialmente en el ámbito del amor. Su amiga Viola está enamorada del atractivo Dr. Aylwin Forbes, así que seguramente no es entrometido si Dulcie ayuda a que las cosas avancen. Aylwin, sin embargo, está prendado de la joven y bonita sobrina de Dulcie. Y tal vez la propia Dulcie, por ridículo que sea, se está enamorando, aunque sea un poco, de Aylwin. Una vez que las pequeñas humillaciones de la vida se hayan representado, tal vez el amor sea correspondido, y con cariño, después de todo.

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.
