Description

Diary of a Provincial Lady by E. M. Delafield is a witty and engaging novel that follows the daily life of an upper-middle class lady living in a Devonshire village. The story is told through the lens of her journal, offering a humorous and relatable portrayal of the challenges and absurdities of domestic life. As she navigates the complexities of her household, including a husband who prefers to lounge behind The Times, mischievous children, and trying servants, the Provincial Lady must also contend with the expectations of society and the patronising Lady Boxe. With its brilliant observations and comedic tone, this novel remains as delightful today as it was upon its first publication in 1930. Introduced by Christina Hardyment, this beautifully bound edition of Diary of a Provincial Lady is a must-have for anyone who enjoys humorous and engaging fiction.
