Gently used copy of "The Sweet Dove Died" by Barbara Pym
Published in 1978, 208 pages
~Here is a review of the book:
"As with other Barbara Pym novels, this novel is both charming and clever. Leonora is a wondeful creation, although she is actually quite horrible in her determination to keep James near. In fact Leonora's personality is such, that throughout the novel she dominates - the three men, Humphrey, James and Ned, are small and pale by comparrison. Barbara Pym writes about a world that almost certainly doesn't exist anymore, and of a certain class, which does, although not in the same way somehow. The title is taken from Keats poem.
"I had a dove and the sweet dove died;
And I have thought it died of grieving
O, what could it grieve for? Its feet were tied
With a single thread of my own hand's weaving" "
