Some Tame Gazelle

Some Tame Gazelle is Barbara Pym's first novel, originally published in 1950. It is considered a remarkable first novel, because of the way in which the youthful Pym - who began the book while a student at Oxford before the Second World War - imagined herself into the situation of a middle-aged spinster, living with her sister in the country.The title of the book is taken from the poem "Something to Love" by Thomas Haynes Bayly.
