One of the greatest comic creations. I can t remember a more relentlessly funny book Daily Mirror
My comfort read. The best diaries ever written - with apologies to Samuel Pepys, Bridget Jones and me ADAM KAY
The fifth book in his hilarious diaries, where Adrian faces divorce, fatherhood and (short-lived) television stardom . . .
__________
Adrian Mole is thirty, single and a father.
His cooking at a top London restaurant has been equally mocked ( the sausage on my plate could have been a turd ) and celebrated (will he be the nation s first celebrity offal chef?).
And the love of his life, Pandora Braithwaite, is too busy as the newly elected MP for Ashby-de-la-Zouch to notice him.
Frustrated, disappointed and undersexed, Adrian despairs until a letter from his past changes everything . . .
__________
With the Mole books, Townsend has an unrivalled claim to be this country s foremost practising comic novelist Mail on Sunday
Adrian Mole really is a brilliant comic creation. Every sentence is witty and well thought out, and the whole has reverberations beyond itself The Times
The funniest person in the world Caitlin Moran
Three cheers for Mole s chaotic, non-achieving, dysfunctional family. We need him Evening Standard
About the Author
Sue Townsend was born in Leicester in 1946. Despite not learning to read until the age of eight, leaving school at fifteen with no qualifications and having three children by the time she was in her mid-twenties, she always found time to read widely. She also wrote secretly for twenty years. After joining a writers group at The Phoenix Theatre, Leicester, she won a Thames Television award for her first play, Womberang, and became a professional playwright and novelist. After the publication of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 133/4, Sue continued to make the nation laugh and prick its conscience. She wrote seven further volumes of Adrian s diaries and five other popular novels - including The Queen and I, Number Ten and The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year - and numerous well received plays. Sue passed away in 2014 at the age of sixty-eight. She remains widely regarded as Britain s favourite comic writer.
