Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 9

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, the family finally shake off their colds, though our narrator is unable to shake off the knowledge that her cold has adversely affected her looks. Robert's remarks don't help.

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.

I find the contrast of blunt truth telling by some characters and the white lies of the narrator (who seems to be the only one aware of this) so interesting. Thanks Mandy 🙏🏻

Oh, the hot water bottle! And Robert, what a drip! Thank you😂🙄 💕🙏🏼✌️

Fun! The vicar's wife who stayed too long brought back memories for me, age 13, and I enjoyed the irony of her exposing herself to more germs by staying.

Still trying to listen to the ending, but thank you for your soothing voice.

It’s less than 15 minutes long and yet I don’t stay awake to hear how the chapter ends!! BTW I’m a Gemini as well. But I don’t think I have a duel personality. But still an interesting view of our author. Thank you Mandy. I’ll give it another listen!!
