Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 17

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, Barbara Blenkinsop confides in our narrator about the difficulty of leaving her mother to marry her fiance, as his work is about to take him to the Himalayas. Drama ensues and the entire village gets involved in the dilemma.

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.
