Poppy's Return
Pat Rosier’s second book about Poppy sees her confronting two life crises at once: death and love vie for her attention. She travels to Yorkshire where she must take on the role of carer to her dying father. And in Yorkshire, there is also Jane… For all her family it’s a time when difficult and poignant emotions emerge – when old hurts must be put aside and new bonds forged. For Poppy it brings a turning point. An engaging, enjoyable and subtly challenging novel.

Reviews
Poppy’s Return is a quiet tribute to the comfort of family and friends, to a life where pleasure can be found in small things and falling in love is a bonus rather than an essential prize.
–Lorien Kaye, Sunday Age
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 Progress]
–Me, you, and books
Rosier … proves herself an observant people watcher.
