A witty portrait of rural England in the early twentieth
century. When sensible, sophisticated Flora Poste is orphaned at
nineteen, she decides her only choice is to descend upon
relatives in deepest Sussex. At the aptly-named Cold Comfort
Farm, she meets the doomed Starkadders: cousin Judith, heaving
with remorse for unspoken wickedness; Amos, preaching fire and
damnation; their sons, lustful Seth and despairing Reuben; child
of nature Elfine; and crazed old Aunt Ada Doom, who has kept to
her bedroom for the last twenty years. Brilliant ... very
probably the funniest book ever written... Julie Burchill,
Sunday Times.
Characters: 67. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Fiction.
