Stella Gibbons is best known for her brilliant fantasia on rural life, Cold Comfort Farm, a satiric riff on the earthier novels of the interwar era, but although that is full of the most wonderful lines worthy of quotation, I thought I'd go for one of her much less well-known but still excellent later novels.When men decide that a woman has character and will be all right, they usually also decide that there is no need to worry about her feelings.Stella Gibbons, Here Be Dragons (1956)
