The Enchanted Book Club’s January 2025 selection. Excellent Women by Barbara Pym is a charming and insightful tale set in 1950s London, following Mildred Lathbury, a single woman navigating societal expectations with wit and quiet strength. Often compared to Jane Austen for her sharp social observations, Pym masterfully captures the beauty and complexity of ordinary life.
