Description
Cold Comfort Farm is a hilarious and ruthless parody of rural melodramas and purple prose. When Flora Poste, a sensible and sophisticated young woman, descends upon her relatives at Cold Comfort Farm, she finds a family in need of organisation and guidance. Armed with common sense and a strong will, Flora sets out to take each of the family members in hand, with chaotic and often hilarious results.
This comic novel, first published in 1932, is a story of family, love, and the power of a strong will. With its witty dialogue and satirical take on rural life, Cold Comfort Farm has become one of the best-loved comic novels of all time.
