Just finished Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont by Elizabeth Taylor. A beautiful whimsical mix of arch British humor, comedy of manners, observations on aging - which can veer in a sentence from laugh-out-loud comedy to black comedy to tears.
If you like Barbara Pym's novels, you'll enjoy Elizabeth Taylor's works.
N.B. The Kindle edition was obviously NOT proof-read. There are OCR errors (most annoyingly - numbers substituted for letters) and line spaces omitted within a chapter when the narrative shifts between different characters - very disconcerting.
