Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons is a comic novel. Flora, a recently orphaned 19-year-old socialite, moves in with her country relatives, the gloomy Starkadders of Cold Comfort Farm. It's time for our discussion, so here are our first two questions.

1. What do you think of Flora Poste?
2. What do you think of the other characters?

Hi Bonnie et al,

I have just finished Cold Country Farm, both the novel and the BBC video. I enjoyed them so much! I think that watching the video really enhanced the experience for me. I thought the editing of the book to make the video was very well don.

1. What do you think of Flora Poste?
Flora = Emma (Jane Austen) X 10! She got all their lives straightened out, didn't she! And then she lived happily ever after with her cousin, Charles.

2. What do you think of the other characters?
I loved the brassiere collection and the gloomy Wuthering Heights feel of Cold Country Farm.
