2. HER WORK

                   For reasons of clarity I have drawn a distinction between life and work of Sue Townsend but as the reader will notice a considerable amount of biographical information has been incorporated in the discussion of the author's work. I could not avoid mixing life and work of Townsend because she is one of those authors who draw heavily on personal experiences. Like so many other authors Townsend uses her life as a major source of information for her fiction.[23]
