Sue Townsend Libri

Ignorato dai genitori troppo immersi nelle proprie questioni sentimentali, Adrian Mole deve affrontare le sue, che certo non sono da meno: a 13 anni e ¿, affrontare l'aristocratica Pandora - unico e irraggiungibile oggetto d'amore - non è cosa da poco, e se poi ci si mette anche Barry Kent, il bullo del quartiere, ecco che i problemi possono decollare oltre ogni aspettativa. Forse nonna Mole, la ultraconservatrice, ha un consiglio per il nipotino, o forse no. E mentre il cane di famiglia ne combina di tutti i colori, meglio affidare i propri tormenti alle pagine di un diario, come se si stesse parlando a un amico del cuore: potrà aiutare a fare chiarezza. Così, Adrian racconta con candore e ironia la sua adolescenza e la bizzarria della sua famiglia, con una scrittura che mescola comicità e amarezza, entusiasmo e riflessione.

"This is a state-wide history of Florida's food and cooking as it evolved over several centuries and through today"--

British teenager Adrian Mole records the ups and downs of adolescence in his diary.

Fifteen years ago Angela Carr aborted an unwanted child. Now the past revisits her with a vengeance. Fifteen years later the child's father, Christopher Moore, cannot quite forget his grief, longing and sense of loss. Living alone on a drab council estate, he is a burnt out man without a job and only a bull terrior for company. Christopher has turned his back on the world and has given-up on life. While out walking his dog one morning, Christopher makes a shocking and touching discovery in a ditch. What he finds forces him to seek out Angela. Now in a desperate, loveless marriage to Gregory Lipton, Angela has never had the child she realised she wanted. When Christopher re-enters her life like a grim messenger, the couple renew a love and passion lost all those years ago.

All the Mole diaries in one volume, including material from the mature Adrian.

Adrian Mole is 39 and a quarter. Unable to afford the mortgage on his riverside apartment, he has been forced to move into a semi-detached converted pigsty next door to his parents, George and Pauline. His ravishing wife Daisy loathes the countryside, longs for Dean Street and has yet to buy a pair of Wellingtons; they are both aware the passion has gone out of their marriage, but neither knows how to reignite the flame. To cap it all off, Adrian is leaving his bed numerous times a night to go to the lavatory and has other alarming symptoms, leading him to suspect prostate trouble. Meanwhile, his mother thinks that an appearance on the Jeremy Kyle show might solve the mystery of her daughter’s paternity once and for all. And when George is asked to provide a DNA sample, will the shock kill him? He is already disabled, though still chain smoking and has had an ashtray welded onto the arm of his wheelchair. As Adrian’s worries multiply, a phone call to his old flame Dr Pandora Braithwaite, BA, MA, PhD, MP and Junior Minister in the Foreign Office, ignites memories of a shared passion and makes him wonder – is she the only one who can save him now?
