Less Than Angels by Barbara Pym

I enjoyed this far more than I was expecting to. Many people had said "Oh, it's very like Jane Austen!" and I thought "Yeah, yeah!" as that's a tag so often thrown around. While stylistically and structurally it bears little resemblance to Austen, there is something in its charm and the way it encapsulates the lives of women in a specific place and time period (in this case, 1950s London) that actually makes this a pretty fair comparison.
