Farmers Daughter (Wives & Daughters Book 1)

The character of the gruff and kindly butler that Charles Bickford did so well was completely dropped. She was a grand and imperious lady who had all kinds of good advice, political and personal. Stevens made herself indispensable to William Windom and it was inevitable that like in the movie they would marry.

Of course that did signal the end of the series after a good run. The Farmer's Daughter was as big a success on the small screen as on the big. Start your free trial.

This is an enjoyable story that evoked the hardships and attitudes of the times. However I never fully engaged emotionally with the characters. In my case, perhaps this novel suffered from being read too close to another story about relationship in and after World War 2. In that one the characters seemed more complex and the story held more nuances and layers. Although this story had a good plot, the characters stuck me as rather one dimensional. Often reading can be influenced by the books we have read around it.

So as I say, it could be just a case of bad timing on my parting influencing my reaction. So, best idea is read it yourself and make up your own mind. If you like historical novels set around war time you may well enjoy it even more than I did. Aug 01, Arlene rated it liked it. My first book of Mary Nichols. An easy read but quite long. The country scenes are just beautiful. Another historical novel that I love. Jul 11, Dannielle Potts rated it really liked it Shelves: Dec 07, Lorna rated it it was amazing.

Jul 21, Becky Eley rated it did not like it. I really enjoyed this book. One of my favourite eras is WW2. They fall in love quite quickly even though it is unacknowledged for some time. Her parents live at the farm but her father is an invalid. Everything is going to plan. Karl is happy working there. Jean works hard and they are surviving. Jean has a 'sort of' boyfriend, Bill, who she's known all her life. Of course this causes problems.

At this stage the village accept the Germans who work on the local farms. But then the Germans plan an escape and Karl warns Jean. Things go badly wrong and Karl gets beaten up, badly, by his fellow prisoners. When the war ends, Gordon comes home, minus a leg and proceeds to take it out on all and sundry. It then continues with Gordon treating Karl badly. He eventually sorts himself out. Karl goes back to Germany to find his family and Jean hopes he will come back to her. This was a great read. I finished it in just over a day.

I had to grit my teeth at times, reading about the way women were treated. Jean had been running the farm successfully for all the war, yet as soon as Gordon came back everything had to be run by him first, even though he was less than useless at the time and had no interest.

As soon as he was back he was trying to marry Jean off to Bill even though she didn't want it.

The male chauvinism of the time was incredible. And it's hard to take. But Jean was a strong character and wasn't being pushed into anything. It's a well researched novel with insights into amputations and false limbs very well written about. If you're interested in this period of history, especially the home front at this time you'll love it.

Nov 16, Anne Harvey rated it it was amazing. Young Jean Coleman is desperately trying to run the family farm in Norfolk after her father has had a stroke. When Karl Muller reports for duty, she finds him eager and willing to help and, as time passes, the two become close. As is the section, when Gordon comes home and has to learn to adopt to life minus a leg. When Karl is repatriated to Germany, he has to travel through the Russian zone secretly to try and locate his parents. The scenes in Germany, I found particularly moving.
