At last, Adrian is asked to write a book. Pandora calls a summit meeting for the Moles and Braithwaites. Read by Harry McEntire.

Adrian’s literary ambitions remain unrealised, but his career is about to take an unexpected turn and throw him into the limelight.

And that is not the only life-changing surprise in store for the hapless yet irrepressible diarist.

The Cappuccino Years highlights how much society and attitudes have changed since 1997 - showcasing Sue Townsend’s fearless and razor-sharp wit.

Abridged by Sara Davies.

Read by Harry McEntire.
