The Diary of a Farmer's Wife - 1796 -1797 von Anne Hughes
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it only missing out on 5 stars due to being a bit repetitive but that is the nature of a diary. I have even tried out a couple of the recipes from this book which work great.
½An interesting little book - the diary of an 18th century farmer's wife, with lots of domestic detail. Quite witty in places, it gives a feeling for what life was like for a relatively well-off country family.
