Reviews
Exquisite characterisation … Poppy's Progress is a thoroughly enjoyable reassurance that even the most shy and prickly individuals can find love, laughter and happiness in life.
–Susana Carryer, New Zealand Herald
I heartily recommend this book to readers, lesbian and straight, who want an enjoyable read that takes them into situations that may be new to them. And especially to readers who are women moving beyond middle age. Both books are better read together. [Poppy's Return]
