Flora Post is a well-educated girl with a wide range of experiences and elegant tastes. After losing her parents, the 19-year-old decided to go to her country relatives whom she had never met. In this place called "The Uncomfortable Farm", she met the unique Starcard family: Judith who felt guilty, Amos who loved to preach, Reuben who was desperate, Seth who was lustful, Elfin who was like an elf, and Ida Doom who was crazy... Faced with complex interpersonal relationships and chaotic situations, Flora decided to use her special "organizational talent" to take over everyone's fate, and a series of hilarious stories happened...

This book parodies the rural melodramas of DH Lawrence and others, dismantles the traditions of a series of late Victorian novels in a playful way, and is full of "predictive" elements, which has a profound impact on later generations and has become one of the "most beloved" comedy novels.
