Adrian mole: the wilderness years, paperback/sue townsend

30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION He will be remembered some day as one of Englands great diarists.

No matter what your troubles may be Adrian Mole is sure to make you feel better Evening Standard 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 .

A classic.

The Adrian Mole diaries are thoroughly subversive.

A true hero for our time Richard Ingrams A very, very funny book Sunday Times.
