     • “Cold Comfort Farm” satirizes those stories. This time, the dreadful relatives find their lives in an uproar; they get more than they expect and better than they deserve. The movie, based on the famous comic novel by Stella Gibbons, is dour, eccentric and very funny, and depends on the British gift for treating madness as good common sense.

   Is Cold Comfort Farm a good book?

   • Having finally read Tess of the d'Urbevilles I finally get the subtleties of Cold Comfort Farm. This book is an absolute joy to read. It was first published in 1932 but set "in the near future", allowing for some fun liberties taken with the 20s and 30s of last century, including some surprisingly modern speech and sensibilities.
