Synopsis
Adrian Mole is thirty-nine and a quarter. He lives in the country in a semi-detached converted pigsty with his wife Daisy and their daughter. His parents George and Pauline live in the adjoining pigsty. But all is not well.
The secondhand bookshop in which Adrian works is threatened with closure. The spark has fizzled out of his marriage. His mother is threatening to write her autobiography (A Girl Called Shit). And Adrian's nightly trips to the lavatory have become alarmingly frequent.
As his troubles multiply, a drunken call to old flame Dr Pandora Braithwaite (BA, MA, PhD, MP and Junior Minister) awakens memories of what might have been and causes Adrian to wonder: is Pandora the only one who can possibly save him?

'In a word-fantastic.The story of Adrian continues.He is dealing with health problems,financial difficulties and marital problems-all dealt with in typical Mole fashion.The subjects that sue townsend tackles in this book are handled very well.The depressing issues of cancer treatment-a serious subject-was tackled well.I found it comical,but it never lost sight of the seriousness of cancer.I cried a few times-and laughed a lot.Poor Adrian doesnt seem to ever learn from previous mistakes and always seems so naive-which is why he is so loveable.A great read.' - Sue C *****
