"From a wartime brothel to the intricate high society of 1870s Brussels, "Under the Poppy" is a novel of childhood friends, a love triangle, puppet masters, and reluctant spies. Under the Poppy is a brothel owned by Decca and Rupert. Decca is in love with Rupert but he loves her brother, Istvan. When Istvan comes to town with his louche puppet troupe, 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 in the Poppy naughty puppet shows. With war closer every day, Istvan and Rupert abandon the Poppy. Embroiled in high society, they must gamble everything avoid becoming more than puppets themselves"--Back cover.
