Lesle's Reviews > No Fond Return of Love

This is a tale of two spinsters in various stage of life happy or not. They meet at a conference during the coffee breaks and drinks. Dulcie, an indexer, is in the state of broken heart that carries a heavy gloom, after her much younger fiance ends the relationship.
Dulcie and Viola meet up. Viola is stunned by Dulcie. They are both interested in a key speaker. Handsome and charming Alylwin, I find him selfish at best. Dulcie uses her skills of connections and placing herself in situations to help her to investigate Alylwin. With help from Laurel they plot and twist, she finds him very old. Dulcie's own inner thinking keeps you reading, the book has many endless complications that help make it funny! Beehives!

In real life during a heart break one would have turned to their girlfriends not a conference? where is Dulcie's friends? I did not care much for the ending which seemed to favor the man and it is bettered to be married than a spinster, but too me it is a better choice.
Pym does write with humor but also have heard she is better the second time around.
