- Prologue: in which Miss Barbara Pym pays a visit to Jane Austen's cottage -- Book the first: a Shropshire lass -- Book the second: Germany -- Book the third: war -- Book the fourth: from the Coppice to Naples -- Book the fifth: Miss Pym in Pimlico -- Book the sixth: the wilderness years -- Book the seventh: in which the fortunes of Miss Pym are reversed -- Epilogue: in which Mr Larkin attends the funeral of his much-loved correspondent Miss Barbara Pym.
- "Barbara Pym became beloved as one of the wittiest novelists of the late twentieth century, revealing the inner workings of domestic life so brilliantly that her friend Philip Larkin announced her the era's own Jane Austen. But who was Barbara Pym and why was the life of this English writer - one of the greatest chroniclers of the human heart - so defined by rejection, both in her writing and in love?"--Publisher's description.
