"The rarest of treasures ..."
By Eric TM
Anne Tyler's observation that "Barbara Pym is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heartbreaking silliness of everyday life' is wonderfully apposite. Having discovered her for myself over twenty years ago, I have once more fallen into her web and what a joy it is. Resistance is futile. Although trite and over used, reference to her and Jane Austin is not inappropriate. If you hate Austin, stay away from Pym. Loving Austin is no guarantee that you will love -- or even like -- Pym but it is a good point of departure. Starting with the original six is essential. For the later novels, try The Sweet Dove Died to get a flavour of the renewed Pym and to see how the new world she created in the 1970s is so distant from the early post-war period of the 1950s.Choosing a favourite is not of much import to me but A Glass of Blessings should not be missed. For a beginner, I would start at the beginning if for no other reason than the silly pleasure of meeting character from earlier novels wandering into the one you are currently reading. If you miss Willmet, Keith, Piers and Rodney from Blessings ..., they wander into No Fond Return of Love "like characters in a novel' according to Viola. Even Barbara pops in for breakfast. If all this seems remarkably twee, Pym is probably not for you. If this kind of literary silliness speaks to your condition then Barbara Pym may become your new favourite author. If you are a beginner, I envy your voyage of discovery.

A glass of praise
By T. Bently
A Glass of Blessings (along with Excellent Women) is one of my favourite Pym novels and certainly the funniest. I'm not sure why she is compared to Jane Austen (she owes no more to her than do a lot of other writers both male and female) or why the cover blurb says she makes readers smile. Most readers will be reduced to laughing out loud - this novel of 1950s mores seems hardly to have dated at all, despite taking as its subject the leisured life of a stay-at-home wife and the amorous adventures of various clergymen.Rather, she is a kind of ecclesiastical version of Nancy Mitford, as the various inhabitants of a London parish and the more worldly-world of the disolute Piers and Keith come under the superior eye of Wilmet. I particularly liked the verger's (I think) joy at discovering dry rot in the church ("It will make a man of him") and Mr. Bason's career as a chef-cum-antiques shop manager in Devon. Highly recommended

Will Wilmet Meet Herself?
By viv
Narrated by the shallow Wilmet, Glass of Blessings showcases Pym's wonderfully observant characterizations and contradictory impulses. Wilmet herself observes and comments but the reader soon learns that this self-absorbed woman is a narrator flawfully unself-aware. Pym includes deliciously witty commentary on class, church, and love through Wilmet's first person narration. No plot to speak of, naturally, but the question of Wilmet's realizing some understanding of love, of herself moves the reader through this sly wonderful novel, full of the blessings of Pym's irony.
