About This Book

A young woman writes a lighthearted diary of everyday life, combining whimsical daydreams about fame and romance with candid notes on family, finances, and manners. Brief episodes range from attic reveries and garden sights to social visits and awkward flirtations, all relayed in a plainspoken, comic voice. The entries trace the speaker's awkward passage toward adulthood while offering affectionate, gently satirical sketches of household routines and local characters.
