Provincial Daughter was okay - certainly not a patch on Provincial Lady though. It's quite funny, although her attempts to ape her mother's style annoyed me for the first few pages, but mostly it's interesting for a comparison. It's about her experiences as a 50s mother/wife, as PL was about 20s (30s?) mother/wife experiences, and the differences in so short a time are really great. paid help is the most striking, I think.
Biddy and Quilla was good, but not as good as the long family of Shortt. My favourite Evelyn Smith's probably The Small Sixth Form, or maybe Milly in the Fifth. Also very fond of Alison Temple.
