[1985 - but written in the late 1930s] Notes to self…My favorite Pym so far. So funny, so charming. A small community, a scandal and nothing nothing else to do but gossip about it. What’s better than that?

Gotta two-star this as I remember literally nothing about it.

This was a funny and quick read. It's set in North Oxford and centers around a group of neighbors. To me, it showcased human curiosity and how quickly rumors spread and grow. One of the most successful things about this novel was Pym's ability to portray the thought processes of the characters. returnreturnGood fun for anyone who likes cozy English novels and wants a good laugh.
