Cold Comfort Farm

Meer over het boek

Set in the gloomy atmosphere reminiscent of classic literature, the story follows a clever young orphan, Flora Poste, as she moves to Cold Comfort Farm. There, she encounters the eccentric Starkadder family, who are under the thumb of Flora's reclusive aunt. With her resourcefulness, Flora transforms their romantic tragedies into a more mundane existence, all while Gibbons humorously critiques romantic clichés. The novel's charm is enhanced by Anne Massey's skillful portrayal of diverse accents, making this delightful satire both engaging and accessible.
