Description

Amy and Kim take a closer look at  E.M. Delafield’s charming Diary of a Provincial Lady, a fictional (yet largely autobiographical) journal of an upper-middle class woman living in Devon, England. The diary was first serialized in the progressive political and literary review magazine Time and Tide before becoming a bestseller in the U.K. and the U.S. in the early 1930s. Amy and Kim also contrast and compare Delafield’s life with the diary, discuss why a book that has never been out of print isn’t more widely read today, and reveal what the tome has in common with Phoebe Waller Bridge’s Fleabag. For episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
