Cold Comfort farm

´We are not like other folk, maybe, but there have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm…´ Sensible, sophisticated Flora Poste has been expensively educated to do everything but earn a living. 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. 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.
