For the first time in Russian - a masterpiece of British humorous prose of the 20th century, 'one of the most hilarious, sophisticated, and endearing books you will ever read' (Guardian). The unnamed heroine by E. M. Delafield, who has many autobiographical traits, meticulously records in her diary the daily 'struggle with arrogant neighbors, uncommunicative husband, and unruly hyacinths' (Independent). The 'Provincial Lady' from Devonshire tries to keep her household from descending into chaos, her children from mischief, and her staff from dismissal. Not to mention the need to not embarrass herself in front of Lady Box with her 'Bentley' and extensive estate - and finally, to win a literary competition in the feminist magazine 'Time Not'.
