My rating: 5 stars

301. Diary of a Provincial Lady (E. M. Delafield)

Lady Boxe

Synopsis from Amazon:
The Provincial Lady has a nice house, a nice husband (usually asleep behind The Times) and nice children. In fact, maintaining Niceness is the Provincial Lady’s goal in life — her raison d'être. She never raises her voice, rarely ventures outside Devon (why would she?), only occasionally allows herself to become vexed by the ongoing servant problem, and would be truly appalled by the confessional mode that has gripped the late 20th century. The Provincial Lady, after all, is part of what made Britain great.

My rating: 5 stars

284. I Visit the Soviets (E. M. Delafield)

Synopsis from Amazon UK:
A provincial lady slogs through the mud of a collective farm, copes with Soviet trains and hotels and rubs shoulders with robust citizens, at a public beach.

My rating: 4 stars

16. The Provincial Lady in London (E. M. Delafield)

Synopsis from Barnes & Noble:
This is the second in the Provincial Lady series and takes up where Diary of a Provincial Lady left off. The Provincial Lady takes a flat in London where she meets assorted literati and other types, goes to cabarets and casinos and writes about new and memorable characters even as she continues to cope with Robin, Vicky, Robert, Mademoiselle and Lady B.

My rating: 5 stars
