Joanna Godden (1922) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164926368)

Joanna Godden is a novel written by British author Sheila Kaye-Smith and published in 1922. The story follows the life of Joanna Godden, a headstrong and independent woman who inherits a farm in Kent, England from her father. Joanna is determined to make the farm a success, but faces many challenges along the way, including the disapproval of her traditional-minded neighbors and the struggle to balance her personal life with her business ambitions.As Joanna works tirelessly to improve the farm and increase its profits, she also finds herself caught between two very different suitors: her childhood friend and neighbor, Martin Trevor, and the wealthy and charming Arthur Alce. Joanna must ultimately choose between love and practicality, and the decision she makes will have far-reaching consequences for her and those around her.Kaye-Smith's novel is a powerful portrayal of a woman's struggle for independence and success in a male-dominated world. It explores themes of love, ambition, and tradition, and offers a vivid and detailed portrait of life in rural England in the early 20th century. With its strong characterization, beautiful prose, and compelling plot, Joanna Godden remains a classic of English literature and a must-read for fans of historical fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
