The Poppy Wife: A Novel of the Great War
by Caroline Scott
The premise is fascinating. In the years following the First World War, people struggle with the brutal aftermath. Former soldiers attempt to rebuild their lives while they grapple with their trauma. Families grapple with their grief. Families of soldiers who are declared missing, search the former battlefields and mass graves hoping to find definitive answers.
Unfortunately, I found the execution to be extremely boring. The fault, I think, lies in the writing. I simply could not find myself to care. I had to force myself to finish this book, I just found the main plot, the central thrust of the story so dull.
