Description

When the sukebind is in bud, orphaned Flora Poste, expensively, athletically and lengthily educated, descends on her relatives at Cold Comfort Farm. There are plenty of them - Judith, alone in her grief; Amos, called by God; Seth, smouldering with sex; Elfine, who needs a little polish; and, of course, Aunt Ada Doom, who saw 'something nasty in the woodshed'. And Flora feels it incumbent on herself to bring order into chaos.
