"A Plume book."
"Quartet in Autumn" is the first of Barbara Pym's later novels and is considered by many to be her masterpiece. This softly compelling story of human dignity in the midst of hopelessness present us with four elderly single people who work in the same office. When the two women retire, this act threatens the lives of all four. Out of tragicomic themes of old age, Pym has written a tale of almost musical perfection.
