Cold Comfort Farm
3 journalers for this copy...
Well, this was once part of my awe-inspiring (and frankly a little daunting) TBR mountain - and in a rare moment of organisation, it's skipping the queue and going off to explore pastures new with a keener reader from BCUK. Happy reading Michelle!

Journal Entry 3 by perfect-circle from Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear United Kingdom on Saturday, March 13, 2004
An amusing look at country life in England. I got a little confused with the timing of the novel until I realised Gibbons had purposely set it in the future which is why things like telephones with TV screens threw me so much, but a funny take on some of the great Victorian novels.
Released on Tuesday, April 27, 2004 at Postal Release in Controlled release, England United Kingdom.

"Child, child, if you come to this doomed house, what is to save you? Perhaps you may be able to help us when our hour comes."
When orphaned Flora Poste writes to various relatives asking whether she can come to live with then, she can't resist the answer from her cousin Judith. So she goes to live with the Starkadder household at Cold Comfort Farm, where they live under the rule of Aunt Ada Doom, who saw something nasty in the woodshed as a child and has never been the same since.
This book gets 10 out of 10 from me, as it is the funniest book I've read in a long while.
