No Fond Return Of Love

reread this for my book club and it's just really great. the details! the shifting point of views and sympathy for the characters (who still drive me nuts). and it's even better if you think about indexing while reading it--why is Dulcie an indexer and what is that telling us about the gender and love plots? anyway. it's great.

I loved this! I did want to shake just about every single character for one thing or another but also I couldn’t stop reading it. This is much like how I feel about every Barbara Pym I’ve read, and I’m clearly going to need to read more. Extra points for being about indexers and writers.
