Cold comfort farm, published in 1932.
'Cold comfort farm' is a parody of the doom
and gloom romantic rural novels of the time.
The book’s protagonist Flora
decides to stay with an extended family of unknown relatives in the fictional
village of Howling. What she finds is a group of misfit bumpkins, to which she
shows no fear, all with their own set of emotional problems and some looming
wrong done to her father, which they all think she has come to right. We never
find out what the wrong is.
Flora manages to use her modern ways to sort the
family out and bring them all back to the land of the living. The book is a
comedy and most in the group found it so.
