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.

Hi, Mary, good to hear from you. I'm glad you enjoyed Cold Comfort Farm, both as a book and on the screen.
