Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 4

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 Portsmouth to meet her dear friend Rose, who has sailed over from America. There has been a storm at sea, and she's worried that her friend has been terribly sea-sick. But Rose turns out to be a good sailor - unlike our narrator.

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

She is witty! Robert sounds like a dud😝 thanks as always!!✨🙏🏼✨

Hi Mandy! Thank you for your reading 📖 I’m having the same trouble with staying awake to the end of the chapter, so I know Rose is off the ship but nothing beyond that point. In spite of my falling asleep all the time I am enjoying this story. 🙏🏻😊💕

Hard to believe this is almost 100 years old. Seems so modern. Thanks Mandy 🙏🏻
