Lady Into Farmwife

Tessa Bennett, a London working girl with an overdeveloped taste for the sophistries of town life and an underdeveloped appreciation of the charm of rural customs, if forced to stay with her married sister in the country to escape the propositions of a London playboy. There she falls in love with Robin Amesbury, a farmer lad of the servant class, but withal very charming. Married to him, she is faced with may problems: readjustment to her husband's personality and to a different mode of living, continual strife with a tyrannical mother-in-law, childbirth, poverty and social ostracism; and it with her solution of these problems that the latter part of the book is concerned.
