Diary of a Goose Girl

Diary of a Goose Girl

Diary of a Goose Girl

Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin

When a spirited young woman storms off after a lovers' quarrel, she expects a brief retreat, not a transformation. Instead of a grand European tour, she finds herself installed as a paying guest at a humble poultry farm in a quiet Sussex village, surrounded by geese, hens, and the pungent realities of country life. What begins as wounded pride and rural boredom gradually becomes something she never anticipated: a genuine engagement with the world beyond her social circle, where the simple act of tending poultry reveals unexpected truths about herself. Wiggin, the creator of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, brings her signature warmth and wit to this lesser-known pastoral comedy, tracing one woman's embarrassment into self-discovery and discovering that the escape she sought might actually be the destination she needed.
