Send us a textAmy 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.
