The Unfortunates

By Laurie Graham

What hope is there for Poppy Minkel? She has kinky hair‚ out−sticking ears‚ too yellow a neck and an appetite for fun‚ and her mother Dora despairs of ever finding her a husband‚ despite the Minkel′s Mustard fortune that seasons these dubious attractions. When Daddy disappears‚ Poppy′s tendency to the unusual is quietly allowed to flourish. World War I opens new horizons. With never a moment of self−doubt‚ she invents her own extraordinary life in step with the unfolding century.
