Synopsis
A romantic, high-spirited romp through England and Africa by the bestselling author of "The Camomile Lawn "When her father dies and leaves her a fortune, Poppy Carew suddenly becomes much more popular. Would-be author Victor Lucas, who may have drowned his wife, and his cousin Fergus, of Furnival's Fine Funerals, are just two of the men who passionately pursue her. There's also besotted farm owner Willy Guthrie, not to mention Poppy's ex-lover, Edmund Platt, who recently dumped her for a rich new girlfriend--before his ex became richer. Which man will Poppy choose? Will she go back to the treacherous Edmund, who is so determined to rekindle their affair that he abducts Poppy from her father's wake? From England to Africa and back again, Mary Wesley sends Poppy Carew on an exhilarating journey of liberation and self-discovery.

Review
"Prances and bubbles along with the gay insouciance of a compulsive storyteller" (Observer)
"Mary Wesley is high-spirited and inventive, and keeps her wayward plot moving forward at a spanking pace" (Daily Telegraph)
"Wesley's narration is as fast and surprising as ever; her subplots are well worked out and rich in detail" (Times Literary Supplement)
"A charming love story and social comedy" (Philip Howard The Times)
"Once again she deploys her admirably comic skill to good effect; puncturing the pompous, exposing humbug, nudging our perceptions in the direction of the absurd" (Financial Times)
