Anderby Wold | Winifred Holtby

1 post | 1 read | 2 to read

Mary Robson is a young Yorkshire woman, married to her solid, unromantic cousin, John. Together they battle to preserve Mary's neglected inheritance, her beloved farm, Anderby Wold. This labour of love - and the benevolent tyranny of traditional Yorkshire ways - have made Mary old before her time. Then into her purposeful life comes David Rossitur, red-haired, charming, eloquent: how can she help but love him? But David is a young man from a different England, radical and committed to social change. As their confrontation and its consequences inevitably unfold, Mary's life and that of the calm village of Anderby are changed forever.

Anderby Wold | Winifred Holtby

This was a slow start for me but I don‘t think that was the book‘s fault. As with Holt‘s other work, this is a story about political enlightenment as much as romance. The ending was genuinely surprising, and I greatly enjoyed the level of observation around the dynamics between the female relatives.
