Description

Poppy, newly recruited cub reporter at the Downingham Post, is determined to prove her worth. She's assigned the task of making tea for her colleagues, a job that never fails to fall to the only female reporter. With spirit and ambition, Poppy sets out to make the Downingham Post the best regional newspaper there is. Life as a single professional woman in post-war England comes with its challenges. From finding a room to changing the deeply entrenched ways of her editor, Poppy faces obstacles at every turn. But with Monica Dickens's wit, warmth and wry observation, this semi-autobiographical novel charms all who read it. If you enjoyed Monica Dickens's humorous take on life in the post-war years, you'll love this engaging story about a young woman's journey to success.
