A prickly, difficult personality with no leavening of humor to lighten her circumstances, Alex finds her only relief in the crushes she develops on friends at school and various acquaintances.

Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood, née de la Pasture (9 June 1890 – 2 December 1943), commonly known as E. M. Delafield, was a prolific English author who is best-known for her largely autobiographical Diary of a Provincial Lady, which took the form of a journal of the life of an upper-middle class Englishwoman living mostly in a Devon village of the 1930s, and its sequels in which the Provincial Lady buys a flat in London and travels to America. Other sequels of note are her experiences looking for war-work during the Phoney War in 1939, and her experiences as a tourist in the Soviet Union.

Autorenporträt
E. M. Delafield, real name Edmée Elizabeth Monica Dashwood, was an English writer renowned for her witty and caustic writings. She was born in Steyning, Sussex, on June 9, 1890, and died there on December 2, 1943. The book "The Diary of a Provincial Lady," written by Delafield, is what made her most famous. In particular, in the setting of domesticity and social expectations, Delafield's literature often concentrated on the lives and experiences of women. Marriage, parenthood, and the difficulties experienced by women in the early 20th century were all subjects that she explored in her writing. She expertly captured the complexity and ambiguities of the world she studied with a razor-sharp humor and great observation. Delafield also produced plays, non-fiction books, and short stories in addition to her novels. She possessed a flexible writing style that enabled her to convey the subtleties of social dynamics and human behavior in a way that was both humorous and insightful. E. M. Delafield's literary accomplishments have established her as a significant character in English literature, and readers looking for a complex grasp of women's life in the early 20th century continue to adore her writings.
