Caroline Scott''s The Poppy Wife is a sweeping tale of forbidden love, profound loss, and the startling truth of the broken families following World War I. 1921. Survivors of the Great War are desperately trying to piece together the fragments of their broken lives. While many have been reunited with their loved ones, Edie''s husband Francis is still missing—presumed to have been killed in action—but she knows he is alive. Francis''s brother Harry was there the day he went missing in Ypres. And like Edie, he''s hopeful Francis is living somewhere in France, lost and confused. Hired by grieving families in need of closure, Harry returns to the Western Front to photograph soldiers'' graves. As he travels through France gathering news for British wives and mothers, he searches for evidence his own brother is still alive. When Edie receives a mysterious photograph that she believes was taken by Francis, she is more certain than ever he isn''t dead and embarks on her own journey in the hope of finding some trace of her husband. As Harry and Edie''s paths converge, they get closer to the truth about Francis and, as they do, are soon faced with the life-changing impact of the answers they discover. "A tribute to remembrance, The Poppy Wife is one of the most meticulously researched WWI novels I have read. Scott''s characters rise off the page with passion, heartache, and unbreakable hope." —New York Times bestselling author Sarah McCoy "Scott masterfully weaves a layered story of both personal tragedy and redemption, filled with rich historical detail and lyrical prose." —USA Today bestselling author Jillian Cantor

You can tell a lot about a person from what they like to eatâ€¦
England in 1932 is in the grip of the Great Depression. Stella Douglas, author of a much-loved but not very successful biography, is a bit depressed herself. When sheâ€™s summoned to see her editor in London, she expects her writing career is over before itâ€™s even started.
But much to her surprise, she is being commissioned to write a history of English food. It''s to be quintessentially English and intended to lift the sprits of the nation. There''s just one problem: a lot of English food is actually quite terrible (and anything good is usually imported from elsewhere).
So Stella travels across England in hopes of discovering a hidden culinary gem. What she discovers is oatcakes and gravy and lots and lots of potatoes. But when her car breaks down midjourney and the dashing and charismatic antiques dealer Freddie springs to her rescue, she is led in a very different direction . . .
Full of wit, life, andâ€”against all oddsâ€”delicious food,Good Tasteis a story of discovery and one womanâ€™s desire to make her own way as a modern woman.
Lively, poignant, witty and beautifully written, and all driven by a wonderful character in Stella Douglas, I couldn''t stop turning the pages."" â€”Hazel Gaynor,New York Timesbestselling author ofThe Last Lifeboat

Don't miss the wonderful new novel from the author of Good Taste and The Photographer of the Lost . . . Welcome to a utopia in the English countryside . . . When Robert Bardsley arrives at Greenfields in the spring of 1933, it is home to a collective of writers, artists, thinkers, musicians and horticulturalists; a place of unchecked idealism and outlandish lifestyles that regularly scandalises the county. An ambitious young gardener, Robert’s been offered a cottage in the grounds of Anderby Hall in return for his efforts to restore the hornbeam maze and tame the feral roses. When the residents of Greenfields discover that Mrs Fitzgerald has sold the old orchard to a property developer, who intends to build an estate of mock-Tudor bungalows, cracks start to fracture the community’s façade. Told by four members of the community over the course of a year, this is a novel about the tensions between ideals and practicalities.At what price do we let go of our principles? And, as the bungalows rise, can anything of the founding spirit of Greenfields survive?

A fond and funny novel about the power of patience, love and kindness' Fiona Valpy 1932: When gardener Robert Bardsley arrives at Anderby Hall, an Elizabethan manor house in the Gloucestershire countryside, it is home to ‘Greenfields’, a community of artists and idealists.

The only person he can’t win over is Anderby’s schoolteacher, Faye, who finds him . . . perfectly vexing. But just as Robert starts to feel at home, the residents discover that the old orchard has been sold to a property developer who has plans for an estate of Tudorbethan bungalows. Can they find a way to keep their creative community alive or will the new housing development put an end to the spirit of Greenfields?
