Description

Caroline Denton-Smyth is an eccentric woman who dreams of reform through her Christian Cinema Company. She sits alone in her West Kensington bedsitter, surrounded by feathers and beads, with a vision for the 'Cause of the Right.

A motley crew of individuals make up Caroline's Board of Directors, each with their own unique quirks and aspirations. There's Basil St Denis, Eleanor de la Roux, Hugh Macafee, Father Mortimer, and Clifton Johnson, among others. Winifred Holtby observes the foibles of human nature in this sparkling satire.

First published in 1931, Poor Caroline is a witty and engaging novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the power of individual conviction.
