Nightingale Wood
Book (italiano):
<B>A sly and satirical fairytale by the author of <I>Cold Comfort Farm</I> </B> <BR><BR> Unavailable for decades, Stella Gibbons's <I>Nightingale Wood</I> is a delightfully modern romance ripe for rediscovery by the many fans of <I>Cold Comfort Farm</I>. <BR><BR> Poor, lovely Viola has been left penniless and alone after her late husband's demise, and is forced to live with his family in their joyless home. Its occupants are nearly insufferable: Mr. Withers is a tyrannical old miser; Mrs. Withers dismisses her as a common shop girl; and Viola's sisters-in-law, Madge and Tina, are too preoccupied with their own troubles to give her much thought. Only the prospect of the upcoming charity ball can lift her spirits-especially as Victor Spring, the local prince charming, will be there. But Victor's intentions towards the young widow are, in short, not quite honorable.
