Book summary


Orphaned and impoverished, Flora Poste goes to Sussex to stay with her bizarre cousins, the Starkadders. Their squalid farm is ruled by Ada Doom, who was traumatized in her childhood by "something nasty in the woodshed." Written as a parody of popular fiction in 1932, this witty novel is being reissued in conjunction with the film in an adaptation by Malcolm Bradbury.


Media reviews


"Gibbons' skewed vision retains its humorous appeal."
