It's the beginning of a new month and you know what that means..
Time to give away our February Author/Reader Discussion novel!
We will be reading and discussing Under the Poppy
with author Kathe Koja
Kathe has made 10 signed trade paperbacks available for this giveaway.
(Sorry my friend, because the author is shipping them,
we are limiting these to US Residents only!)
What it's about:
From a wartime brothel to the intricate high society of 1870s Brussels, Under the Poppy is a breakout novel of childhood friends, a love triangle, puppetmasters, and reluctant spies.
Under the Poppy is a brothel owned by Decca and Rupert. Decca is in love with Rupert, but he in turn is in love with her brother, Istvan. When Istvan comes to town, louche puppet troupe in tow, the lines of their age-old desires intersect against a backdrop of approaching war. Hearts are broken when old betrayals and new alliances - not just their own - take shape, as the townsmen seek refuge from the onslaught of history by watching the girls of the Poppy cavort onstage with Istvan's naughty puppets . . .
Under the Poppy is a vivid, sexy, historical novel that zips along like the best guilty pleasure.
