«Nightingale Wood» is the novel by Stella Gibbons published by Virago in paperback (387 pages, in English).
Viola, a young widow without means, moves in with her in-laws: the miserly Mr Withers, his wife who despises her for having been a shopgirl, and two self-absorbed sisters-in-law. Only the upcoming charity ball lifts her spirits, because Victor Spring will be there, though his intentions towards Viola are not entirely honorable.
This edition belongs to the Virago Modern Classics collection, was published in 2009 and includes an introduction by Sophie Dahl. The story is set in Britain.
Stella Dorothea Gibbons was an English author, journalist, and poet. She established her reputation with her first novel, Cold Comfort Farm (1932), which has been reprinted many times. Although she was active as a writer for half a century, none of her later 22 novels or other literary works—which included a sequel to Cold Comfort Farm—achieved the same critical or popular success. Much of her work was long out of print before a modest revival in the 21st century.
