Book Overview

A Farm In Picardy is a memoir written by Dora Nelson in 1919. The book is a detailed account of her experiences living on a farm in the Picardy region of France during World War I. The author and her husband, both British citizens, moved to the farm in 1914, just before the outbreak of the war. They were forced to adapt to a new way of life as they navigated the challenges of living in a war-torn country. The book provides a unique perspective on the war, as it is written from the point of view of a civilian living in a rural area. Nelson writes about the daily struggles of life on the farm, including the difficulties of growing crops and caring for animals during wartime. She also describes the impact of the war on the local community, including the arrival of refugees and the presence of soldiers.
