       Praise

      From the reviews of The Unfortunates:

      ‘If you see people creasing up with laughter on public transport, this is probably what they’re reading’

       The Times

      ‘Fresh, funny and smart, a novel that reels from the Titanic to jazz age New York’

       Observer

      ‘Epic and very, very funny’

       Daily Mail

      ‘A wildly funny novel, which is often on the brink of being a wildly tragic one’

       Sunday Times

      ‘Set in New York, France and England, this witty book is brimming with irony while an understated sadness bubbles just under the surface. Laurie Graham’s last novel, The Future Homemakers of America, was a bestseller. With deft prose and a Nancy Mitford style, her seventh novel looks like repeating that success’

       Irish Independent

      ‘Laurie Graham is a writer with a remarkably malleable comic voice … Poppy, like Nancy Mitford’s Linda Radlet and The Bolter, is a thrill-seeker with a penchant for romance, brightly coloured clothing, elaborate cocktails and effervescent company’

       Guardian

      ‘A compelling read’

       Hello!

      ‘A fantastic, engrossing read’

       Glamour
