POPPY JENKINS
Claire Ashton
It’s not easy being the only gay in the village but Poppy Jenkins does alright. Her sex life might be a distant memory, but she’s got a loving family, a devoted dog and lots of friends in her tiny village in the Welsh valleys. What more does a dyke need? Well some excitement, perhaps. And that’s exactly what arrives in the form of Rosalyn Thorn, formerly Poppy’s best friend, now utterly beautiful, and still just as much trouble as she was at school. Goldie-award winner Claire Ashton has created a truly loveable heroine in Poppy; you won’t be able to stop yourself cheering her on! This sweet, witty novel is perfect to curl up with as the autumn nights lengthen.
