INTRODUCED BY KATE SAUNDERS 'I am a huge fan of Barbara Pym' RICHARD OSMAN In a provincial university town, Caro Grimstone, a dissatisfied faculty wife, becomes the unwilling accomplice to her husband Alan's ambitions.

A delightful comedy of manners with a touch of mystery, An Academic Question. is prime Barbara Pym territory.

I pick up her books with joy' JILLY COOPER'Beneath the gentle surfaces of her novels is a slow-building comedy, salt wit in a saline drip' NEW YORK TIMES.
