Poppy

When Australian vet Poppy Mavrikakis goes to Greece for a holiday she unexpectedly meets a man she finds she cannot bear to leave and through him discovers a connection to a traumatic historical event on the beautiful island of Kasos that reverberates through the generations to the present day.

In this novel Margaret Lygnos draws on history to create an evocative picture of a group of people whose lives are inextricably bound together by family and history, and tells a story of migration and successful integration into Australian life that is so much a part of Australia's narrative.
