When the editor of Time and Tide wanted some light "middles", preferably in serial form, E. M. Delafield promised to think of something to submit'. It was thus, in 1930, that her most popular and enduring work Diary of a Provincial Lady was written. This largely autobiographical novel which took the form of a journal of the life of an upper-middle class Englishwoman living mostly in a Devon village of the 1930s is a humorous account of a house-wife and a mother who juggles her life at home and yet goes on to successfully publish her first book. Excerpt: "November 7th.—Plant the indoor bulbs. Just as I am in the middle of them, Lady Boxe calls. I say, untruthfully, how nice to see her, and beg her to sit down while I just finish the bulbs. Lady B. makes determined attempt to sit down in armchair where I have already placed two bulb-bowls and the bag of charcoal, is headed off just in time, and takes the sofa." (The Diary of a Provincial Lady) E. M. Delafield (1890-1943) was a prolific English author who is best known for her autobiographical works like Zella Sees Herself, The Provincial Lady Series etc. which look at the lives of upper-middle class Englishwomen.

E. M. Delafield's 'The Provincial Lady Series' is a quintessential portrayal of the life of an English middle-class woman in the early 20th century. Written in the form of a diary, the series consists of five novels that elegantly capture the challenges, humor, and social norms of the time. Delafield's witty and satirical style, combined with her sharp observations of the minutiae of daily life, make these novels both entertaining and insightful. The series stands as a valuable piece of literature that offers a window into the domestic and social dynamics of the era. Readers will find themselves engrossed in the Provincial Lady's world, laughing at her mishaps and sympathizing with her frustrations. E. M. Delafield, herself a middle-class woman living in England during the early 20th century, drew inspiration from her own experiences to create this beloved series. Her keen insight into the social conventions and gender roles of the time adds depth and authenticity to the Provincial Lady's narrative. I highly recommend 'The Provincial Lady Series' to readers interested in classic literature, women's writing, and social history. Delafield's skillful storytelling and perceptive commentary make this collection a must-read for anyone looking to explore the nuances of everyday life in the early 20th century.
