Add to basketOnce upon a time, not so very long ago, in a lonely old house in the countryside, there was a little girl called Imogen.
Every day she climbed upstairs to the top of the house.
At the top of the house was an attic, and in that attic was a doll's house.
And in that doll's house lived a great many things.
Old things, lost things, forgotten things...
Noah and Imogen are both children when they first meet in 1973. Noah is in a children's home after the death of his mother, and Imogen is accompanying her father, the brilliant but eccentric Oliver Frayling, to promote their BBC TV show The Adventures of Imogen and Florian.
Following a turbulent relationship in their twenties, Noah and Imogen part ways and lose sight of each other. Almost thirty years later, they meet again. Noah is now a successful writer and a newly single father. He and his daughter visit the recently widowed Imogen in Lethebury, a sleepy little town in the Malverns where Oliver created The Adventures of Imogen and Florian.
Oliver has been missing for years, but aspects of his failed TV show seem to live on in Lethebury. One night Florian, his fictional old rabbit, comes to life and seems to want to lead Noah and his daughter through a door that used to lead Elsewhere. But where does it lead now?
The answer lies somewhere in the story of Oliver's deeply conflicted life, his private relationship with the BBC producer Malcolm Church, an abandoned Cold War bunker, and PoppyHarp.
But just who or what is PoppyHarp?
From the World Fantasy Award-nominated author of The Teardrop Method, PoppyHarp is a story about England in the 70s and 80s, the AIDS epidemic, the faded lights of celebrity, and building your own little plot of Eden when it feels the world has forgotten about you.
