A Few Green Leaves by Barbara Pym
Emma Howick, an aspiring anthropologist, chooses to settle in a country community in the heart of England, with a view to researching a study on "The Social Patterns of a West Oxfordshire Village". She soon finds herself inextricably caught up in the lives of her new neighbours.Barbara Pym, who died in 1980, spent the last years of her life in an Oxfordshire village, sharing a small cottage with her sister. Between 1950 and 1961 she published six novels. After a gap of sixteen years, publication of ‘Quartet in Autumn’ in 1977 was treated as a major literary event, as was her next novel, ‘The Sweet Dove Died’. Four more novels were published posthumously, as was ‘Civil to Strangers’, a collection of writings including one complete novel and sections of three others.
