The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole, 1999-2001

Midlife chaos with gloriously British cringe

This is perfect if you like your comedy dry, self-deluding, and painfully human. Adrian blunders through parenthood, class anxiety, and millennium-era Britain with the same earnest melodrama that makes him so lovable and ridiculous. Readers often enjoy how the diary voice turns everyday embarrassments into something sharply funny, affectionate, and strangely comforting.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Adrian Mole has entered early middle age and is now 'the same age as Jesus was when he died' (33). He is a father to the grammatically challenged Glenn and William—who, in a mischievous moment, takes a 'Big Boy Arouser' condom to nursery school as his innocent contribution to a hot-air balloon project—while being a single parent with an on/off relationship with his housing officer, Pamela Pigg. But will she help him move from the notorious Gaitskell estate before little William joins the Mad Frankie Fraser fan club? In the meantime, Adrian is scandalized by his irresponsible mother and father, who are conducting a matrimonial square-dance with the Braithwaites—parents of the beautiful but unobtainable Pandora, who is ruthlessly pursuing her ambition to be New Labour's first woman PM—and by his habit of confiding in his diary. His current worries include indestructible head-lice; his jealousy when his accomplished half-brother Brett unexpectedly arrives on his doorstep; moral decline in The Archers; his desperate attachment to two therapists; his mild addiction to Starburst (formerly Opal Fruits); a small earthquake in Leicester; and, perhaps most significantly, the dawn of a new millennium.
