It has been some time since I have enjoyed the inane pleasure of drawing bemused glances on the morning commute from sniggering behind the covers of a book. Stories of doomed lovers moved by animal passions on windblown moors, and often weighed down by overblown prose and adjective heavy descriptions. Cold Comfort Farm: Review My only regret upon finishing this book is that it’s taken me this long to get around to reading it. 'Cold Comfort Farm' is a sharp and clever parody of the melodramatic and rural novel. Cold Comfort Farm is a hilarious satire of the sort of rural romances that were popular at the time. Flora Poste has been expensively educated to do. As the sukebind flowers, Flora takes each of the family in hand and brings order to their chaos. This title is a classic of its kind, a dazzling parody of the earthy, melodramatic novels of the period.

There is Judith in a scarlet shawl, heaving with remorse for an unspoken wickedness raving old Ada Doom, who once saw something nasty in the woodshed lustful Seth and despairing Reuben, Judith's two sons and there is Amos, preaching fire and damnation to one and all. When she is orphaned at twenty, she decides her only option is to descend on relatives - the doomed Starkadders at the aptly named Cold Comfort Farm.

Sensible, sophisticated Flora Poste has been expensively educated to do everything but earn a living. At worst, Flora soon understands, the farmhouse habors near-lunacy, as in Aunt Adas lifetime fixation on having seen something nasty in the woodshed and in. We are not like other folk, maybe, but there have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm'. The book 'Cold Comfort Farm' - Stella GibbonsĬold Comfort Farm.
