The Diary Of A Nobody

More about the book

Set in Victorian England, the story follows Charles Pooter and his wife Caroline as they navigate the social challenges of their new home at "The Laurels." Their experiences at local events, including a lavish gathering at the Mansion House and a dismal ball hosted by the East Acton Rifle Brigade, lead to a series of humorous mishaps, particularly when Pooter embarrasses himself after overindulging in champagne. As they face mounting social pressures and unexpected bills, the couple's comedic journey reveals the absurdities of their middle-class aspirations.
