GRAHAM, LAURIE - The Unfortunates

London, Fourth Estate. 2003, 1st Pbk Edition. (ISBN: 184115315x) Soft cover. Book, An irrepressible adventurer, Poppy is a comic combination of innocence and pluck- One unforgettable woman and her wayward path through the twentieth century. 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. Narrated by a heroine as original and enchanting as Sally Bowles, The Unfortunates is an hilarious, sweeping celebration of passion's triumph over prudence. Slight spine wrinkle. Very Good +.
