This is Pym's poignant story of four elderly single people who work in the same office. Their work is their chief point of contact with each other and with the outside world. When the two women retire, the equilibrium of the quartet is upset. Quartet in Autumn is a gently compelling story of human dignity in the midst of hopelessness.
Excellent story that looks into the lives of four people who have worked together for years and really do not know each other. Interesting how each one faces retirement and beyond.
