Diary of a Provincial Lady by E.M. Delafield

4.0

---

Snickered ongoingly and occasionally laughed out loud as I read this. Typical diary entry: "(Query: Does motherhood lead to cynicism? This contrary to every convention of art, literature, or morality, but cannot altogether escape conviction that answer may be in the affirmative.)" This is a female counterpart to the inimitable Three Men in a Boat -- strictly for the literary Anglophile.
