Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 3

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 and her husband Robert attend a dinner held by Lady Boxe, whose outfit makes everyone else's look old-fashioned. A notable author is present, but our narrator's attempts to track down their book before the dinner have been unsuccessful.

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

Gosh! I can dose 😴 off in 5 minutes most nights now, so it took me 3 tries to hear the chapter to the end!! 😄
Thank you for your reading, Mandy!

I love the humor & especially in this chapter when Robert said he didn’t think they were young enough anymore for late nights. Thank you for this story.

She captures the banality of that dinner party perfectly! Thanks Mandy

Such a gift awaited me this morning. I do like your introduction and the information you share about the author. Great story, thanks for the exposure and of course lovely read.💝
