A Diary of The Lady

Description
'The whole place seemed completely bonkers: dusty tatty disorganized and impossibly old-fashioned set in an age of doilies and flag-waving patriotism and jam still for tea some sunny day.'
Appointed editor of The Lady - the oldest women's weekly in the world - Rachel Johnson faced the challenge of a lifetime. For a start how do you become an editor when you've never well edited? How do you turn a venerable title full of ads for walk-in baths during the worst recession ever? And forget doubling the circulation in a year - what on earth do you wear to work when you've spent the last fifteen years at home in sweatpants?
Will Rachel save The Lady - or sink it?
'Action-packed entertaining marvellously indiscreet. Johnson is everything you want in a diarist and has a compulsive habit of saying the wrong thing' Sunday Times
'She's a loose cannon. All she thinks of is sex. You can't get her away from a penis' Mrs Julia Budworth co-owner The Lady
'A total romp wonderfully readable unflinchingly described' Guardian
'HYSTERICAL. For the first time everyone is talking about The Lady for reasons other than nannies' Piers Morgan
Rachel Johnson is a journalist who has written two previous novels and two volumes of diaries. The Mummy Diaries Notting Hell Shire Hell and A Diary of The Lady are all available now from Penguin.
