Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years

by Sue Townsend · Adrian Mole series

Adrian stumbles through his wilderness years — the gap between youthful ambition and middle-aged resignation, filled with disastrous jobs, worse relationships, and the growing suspicion that he will never be the intellectual he imagined. Townsend's wit is merciless and fond in equal measure.
