Have finally started making my way through the adventures of a Provincial Lady! This volume has the entire series in it and I've just started the second book.

This is the 2nd book from my spring Shakespeare & Co “Year of Reading” subscription. The cover explanation/review for why it was chosen is a very true representation of this book. Subscriptions generally do result in receiving books you never would have purchased and this is true for me here. Not to say I didn‘t enjoy it because I did. It was an interesting insight into Delafield‘s life with frequent hilarious asides/observations. 3.5/5
I spent my morning curled up with this book chuckling and listing all the reasons I am so glad I am not a provincial lady. Definitely need to track down the others books in this series.

I love E.M. Delafield and especially her Provincial Lady books, a fictionalized series of diaries written by a Devon housewife in the 1930s and 1940s.
Here are a few of my vintage editions (and the first in the series is tagged). 😊

There's a 1930club reading challenge going on among some book blogs. Point is to read a book published in 1930. It's inspired me to finally read this classic that @erzascarletbookgasm sent me a while ago.
I am an "upgrader" (paperback to hardback, later editions to first edition, etc.) when it comes to books and don't keep multiple copies of one title. I had to keep the paperback on the right because it contains the three other books in this series. ?#SameBookDifferentCover #AprilBookShowers
