Cold Comfort Farm [Paperback] Gibbons, Stella

Description

Cold Comfort Farm is a wildly funny parody of D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Hardy, and the Bronte sisters stark portrayal of country living. Having been orphaned at age 19 Flora Poste is forced to move to Cold Comfort Farm to live with her mother’s relatives. The farm is poorly run by her mysterious aunt and all of her relatives are in some way dark and disturbed. It is generally believed that they and the farm are all cursed. Flora takes all this in stride and quickly begins to organize the farm and her relatives out of their dark desperate state.
