Burnt Ash Library Reading Group 28th November

The next meeting of the reading group at Burnt Ash Library is on Thursday 28th November 2013 at 2.15 pm.

The book to be discussed is:-
The Diary of a Provincial Lady by E. M. Delafield
Behind this rather prim title lies the hilarious fictional diary of a disaster-prone lady of the 1930s, and her attempts to keep her somewhat ramshackle household from falling into chaos: there's her husband Robert, who, when he's not snoozing behind The Times, does everything with grumbling reluctance; her gleefully troublesome children; and a succession of tricky servants who invariably seem to gain the upper hand. And if her domestic trials are not enough, she must keep up appearances. Particularly with the maddeningly patronising Lady Boxe, whom our Provincial Lady eternally (and unsuccessfully) tries to compete with.

Due to high demand they are currently unable to take new members.  Please ask if you wish to join the waiting list.
