Jane and Prudence by Barbara Pym
4.0

Another delightful book from Pym. This one also featured Miss Jessie Morrow and Miss Doggett, as did my previous Pym, Crampton Hodnet. This one dealt with the proper English courting rules (love was definitely a major theme) and how people navigated them. It also, of course, had a delightful cast of characters, most prominent (to me) was Jane Cleveland. She was the bumbling, fumbling new curate's wife that could just never quite add up to her predecessor. returnreturnAgain - quite fun and enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone who likes cozy English novels and wants a good laugh - and of course, wants to make fun of English courtship.
