The diary of Adrian Mole, aged 34 | Books | The Guardian

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4, the original tale of the archetypal adolescent boy, was published in 1982 and, along with subsequent volumes, has sold more than eight million copies worldwide. Pandora, his teenage love object, grows up to move in exalted circles as a New Labour MP, but periodically reappears in Adrian's life. Still, without the slings and arrows of modern life what else would an intellectual poet have to write about . . . The unfinished book would have been the ninth of Townsend's much-loved Mole novels, and had the working title Pandora's Box, the Telegraph reported.Pete Sugden is Pauline's brother. Adrian overhears a telephone conversation between the two in The Lost Diaries, where it is revealed that Pete's wife Yvonne stole a brooch that was left to Pauline in a will, and that their mother never particularly liked Yvonne. However, after slagging Yvonne off, Pete reveals that she had died the day previously. Pauline then asks for her brother to send her the brooch through the post and Pete hung up. Pete and Yvonne Sugden had never been mentioned previously, and were never mentioned again. Alison Flood (5 December 2012). "EL James comes out on top at National Book awards". The Guardian .

George, like Pauline, is sometimes tactless and inefficient. He has no qualms about showing favouritism for his three children - his favourite was always Rosie, which is why he took it so hard when he discovers Rosie is not his. He does not enjoy talking about his feelings and wants his son to be a "real man", like a computer technician. One of his less attractive qualities is his openly saying that he married Adrian's mother Pauline because of "how good her legs looked in a miniskirt".

A younger generation should still be able to relate to much of what goes on – the Christine Spicer-Woods represents an independent political party called S.L.A.G. (Socialist Lesbians Against Globalisation) and runs for Leicester MP in the 1997 election; she is defeated when Pandora Braithwaite wins the seat for Labour.My comfort read. The best diaries ever written - with apologies to Samuel Pepys, Bridget Jones and me' ADAM KAY But Adrian is about to discover that extraordinary and wonderful things may blossom even in the wilderness . . . His final diary was his last. In an interview in the Guardian with Kate Kellaway in 2010, Sue said that “the only way I’ll kill Adrian is when I die myself”. Though we’ll never learn Adrian’s fate, his diagnosis of prostate cancer in the last book made for a potentially bleak future. Though Sue was working on a follow-up at the time of her death in April 2014 – provisionally titled Pandora’s Box - his final entry was made on Monday 5 May 2008, revealing that he would become a grandfather at 41 and hoping that we would “live long enough to see this child grow up”. To mark the royal wedding between Prince William and Catherine Middleton, Sue Townsend wrote an exclusive Adrian Mole story for the Observer in 2011.
