Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 15

Diary of a Provincial Lady, published nearly a hundred years ago by E M Delafield, is a direct ancestor of Bridget Jones' Diary. In tonight's episode, our narrator goes to London, and although she doesn't find a new house parlour maid, does buy a new frock and attend a marvellous dinner party, full of charming Feminists.

This gentle story of the daily ups and downs of domestic life has been compared with George Grossmith's Diary of a Nobody, also available narrated by me in Free Tracks.

Reviews

I guess women have always liked to shop and buy cosmetics. At least for once our lady has felt confident; a bit of feminism creeping in since she’s away from Robert for a bit? Thanks Mandy 🙏🏻

It’s less than 14 minutes long and yet it took me three times to stay awake to the end! This book is the perfect balance between clever humor and detailed tedium. Brilliant! Thanks, Mandy!!
