Descriere magazin:
An acidly funny novel about a woman who falls for a much younger man by one of Britain\'s great writers of social comedy, now back in print. A lesser-known, darker sister to Barbara Pym\'s Excellent Women . The Sweet Dove Died , the most brilliant and incisive of Barbara Pym\'s novels, depicts a woman\'s attachment to a man much younger than herself. Beautiful and self-absorbed, Leonora Eyre has a passion for collecting Victorian objects and is coolly indifferent towards everything outside of her fastidious, elegant existence. When she is courted by Humphrey, a widowed antiques dealer, she disdains his advances, preferring rather the attentions of his twenty-four-year-old nephew James. Leonora\'s possession of James is challenged, however, first by Phoebe, a bookish young woman his own age, and then by the suave and seductive Ned, a visiting American professor with whom James quickly becomes infatuated. Barbara Pym\'s sharp eye for comedy and shrewd observation of English middle-class manners are on full display in this finely wrought novel of love, loss, and all the hopes and disappointments that befall the human heart.
