Third in a famous trilogy. ALSO KNOWN AS: A Farm in Normandy is now incorporated in Madeleine--Young Wife. CONTENTS: PART I A Farm in Normandy; PART II London Interlude; PART III The Return to the Farm; PART IV The Days of Peace. SYNOPSIS: Mrs Robert Henrey's reputation as a writer, which is now considerable, rests on three major autobiographical works, The Little Madeleine, Madeleine Grown Up and A Farm in Normandy. The first two describe her girlhood in Paris, her arrival in London and her romance and marriage. The Normandy phase became, because of world events, too big to be contained within its original concept. Thus A Farm in Normandy had soon to be followed by other volumes which described her interlude in London during the war, her return to Normandy, where her farm had known theft, treachery and murder, and finally the long and often hard days of peace again. This great saga, with the addition of much new material, has now been turned by the authoress into a single volume, Madeleine Young Wife, which will henceforth take its place as number three in the trilogy: The Little Madeleine; Madeleine Grown Up; Madeleine Young Wife.
