Misadventures was one of the most unexpected and extraordinary debuts of recent years. Appleby House sees the return of Sylvia Smith in another hugely entertaining volume full of everyday incidents and accidents, talk and scurrilous activity. The story of her housemates, of the kindly Mr and Mrs Appleby, of the various suitors who come and go, is all set down with great good humour. Not since The Diary of a Nobody has daily life been so wonderfully and endearingly evoked.
'In Appleby House Smith's delicate, deadly accurate perception and amused but accepting narrator turns the world of rented rooms, temporary secretarial posts, malfunctioning boilers and scraps over space on the washing line into a hilarious and poignant little page-turner' Helen Fielding, author of Bridget Jones's Diary
