The Inconsolable Farm
About This Novel
The well-educated Flora Post was well-informed and had refined tastes. After losing her parents, the 19-year-old decided to seek refuge with relatives in the countryside whom she had never met. In this place called "The Inconsolable Farm", she met the unique Starkard family: the guilty Judith, the missionary-loving Amos, the desperate Reuben, the lustful Seth, the elf-like Elfin, the crazy Ada Doom... Faced with complex interpersonal relationships and chaotic situations, Flora decided to use her special "organizational talents" to Taking over everyone's destiny, a series of hilarious stories happened... This book is a comical imitation of the rural melodramas of D. H. Lawrence and others, playfully dismantling the tradition of a series of late-Victorian novels, and at the same time full of "predicting the future" elements. It has had a profound impact on later generations and has become one of the "most beloved" comedy novels.
