One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'
'Brilliant ... very probably the funniest book ever written' Sunday Times
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. But Flora loves nothing better than to organise other people.
Armed with common sense and a strong will, she resolves to take each of the
family in hand. A hilarious and ruthless parody of rural melodramas and purple
prose, Cold Comfort Farm is one of the best-loved comic novels of all time.
