Capable, bossy daughter Beryl, and her meek and mild husband Rodney, are coming from Bath in their caravan; smart, high-flying Maria is jetting in from New York with her rich dentist husband Mervyn; son Richard is coming with his partner Graham; and assorted grandchildren, lovers and even one great-grandchild, the adorable Daisy, will all be converging on her south coast home to honour Poppy for having attained such a great age. The trouble is, she doesn't feel old at all. As Poppy prepares to welcome them all, her mind goes back over her life - to her tough childhood in Yorkshire, to her mother, who scrimped and saved to bring her up decently and wanted her to make a 'good' marriage, to her three husbands and to Alun, the great love of her life who was taken from her by the war. Yes, she'd had a full life - a lot fuller than her family realize. As they toast their beloved matriarch, little do they know what an extraordinary and often shocking life she has led. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; Drama & Sagas; ISBN: 0593046145.
