Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years
Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years: The Wilderness Years | Sue Townsend
5 posts | 10 read | 1 to read
Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years is the fourth book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series. Thursday January 3rd I have the most terrible problems with my sex life. It all boils down to the fact that I have no sex life. At least not with another person. Finally given the heave-ho by Pandora, Adrian Mole finds himself in the unenviable situation of living with the love-of-his-life as she goes about shacking up with other men. Worse, as he slides down the employment ladder, from deskbound civil servant in Oxford to part-time washer-upper in Soho, he finds that critical reception for his epic novel, Lo! The Flat Hills of My Homeland, is not quite as he might have hoped. But Adrian is about to discover that extraordinary and wonderful things may blossom even in the wilderness . . . Bestselling author Sue Townsend has been Britain's favourite comic writer for over three decades. 'A classic. The Adrian Mole diaries are thoroughly subversive. A true hero for our time'Richard Ingrams 'A very, very funny book'Sunday Times Sue Townsend is one of Britain's favourite comic authors. Her hugely successful novels include eight Adrian Mole books, The Public Confessions of a Middle-Aged Woman (Aged 553?4), Number Ten, Ghost Children, The Queen and I, Queen Camilla and The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year, all of which are highly-acclaimed bestsellers. Sue passed away in 2014 and is survived by her husband, four children, ten grandchildren and millions of avid readers.

#12booksofchristmas @Andrew65 june. Among the contenders were My Phantoms by Gwendoline Riley, Looking for Mr Goodbar, and The broken shore by Peter Temple ( a great Australian crime novel), but I've got to go with a book that had me giggling to myself on the sofa to the annoyance of everyone else in the room. Definitely need to read more sue Townsend in 2023

#20in4 Didn't get a lot of rdng in this wkd as I was helping dtr move flats so spent a lot of time sat waiting hence photo but another instalment in the wonderful Adrian Mole series had me chuckling away and later to the annoyance of my wife giggling while she watched TV. Adrian is now 24 in 1991, still in love with Pandora + working for DOE counting newts. Sue Townsend was a genius and still grinning thinking abt it. Bk 2 in @Andrew65 challenge

The last one!! Well, there's more, but I'm done. This was the best book out of a pretty bad bunch. Off to read something more intellectually stimulating. (Goes for a perusal of 8 year old child's book shelf! 🤔)
