About the author

E. M. Delafield

1890–1943

Best known for the warmly funny Diary of a Provincial Lady, this prolific English writer turned everyday frustrations into sharp, companionable comedy. Her books balance wit with a keen eye for class, family life, and the pressures placed on women in the early 20th century.
