| Summary | "Joanna Godden" by Sheila Kaye-Smith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on Joanna Godden, a strong-willed young woman who takes over the management of Little Ansdore Farm after her father's death. Set against the backdrop of the marshes in Sussex and Kent, the novel explores themes of gender roles, independence, and the challenges of rural life. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Joanna as she deals with the aftermath of her father's funeral, showcasing her spirited personality, especially in her interactions with her younger sister, Ellen. Joanna is determined to run the farm herself, countering societal expectations of women at the time, and she quickly finds herself at odds with local opinion and her own farm workers. The opening chapters set the stage for Joanna's struggle not only against traditional gender roles but also against the practical challenges of managing a farm, hinting at the growth and experiences she will encounter as she asserts her independence.
