Description
The first biography of Sue Townsend, the brilliant and satirical mind behind the iconic teenage diarist Adrian Mole.
Sue Townsend grew up in working class Leicestershire and left school at 14. In the 70s she was a young single mother working in youth and community services, writing on the side and hiding it in secret for years, always nervous about how it would be received.
She went on to become the bestselling author of the 1980s, and one of the most beloved comic observers of modern British society – and much of what she said remains relevant today.
In Adrian Mole, C'est Moi, Jane McVeigh uncovers who Sue Townsend the writer really was, and the extent to which she poured herself into her famous creation, Adrian Mole. Drawing on the humourous, self-deprecating and fiercely observant tone of Townsend's own writing, this book weaves together previously unpublished material with the fictional, hilariously neurotic world of Adrian Mole, and places Townsend where she belongs – as one of Britain's greatest satirists.
