Cold Comfort Farm
Stella Gibbons
This classic tale follows a confident and clever young woman who brings order to the gloomy and overwrought world of a Hardy or Bronte novel. Orphaned Flora Poste decides to live with her relatives at Cold Comfort Farm in Sussex where she manages an alarming cast of eccentric characters. The novel offers a wicked sendup of romantic cliches and is a recommended read for both literary and popular collections.
