Reviews

"Stella is an endearing protagonist, and Scott's sentences fly by, with great descriptions of foods and places. Devour this one during a rainy weekend, ideally paired with several cups of tea and maybe some oatcakes." -- Eater

"Buttery passages are slathered with food imagery, and Scott conjures markets, pantries, and laden tables you won't want to leave. A sweet treat of a book." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Scott takes readers on a journey of professional and personal discovery, making the novel an excellent pick for those who enjoy explorations of women's independence." -- Library Journal

"[L]ighthearted and charming...This is an easygoing historical novel about a young woman coming into her own." -- Booklist

"Wonderful on nostalgia, doing things your own way and maintaining faith. I raced through it." -- Daily Mail (UK) on Good Taste

"A fascinating, immersive, and delicious treat of a book." -- heat (Book of the Week) (UK) on Good Taste

"British historian Scott's first novel is a beautifully evocative reminder of what it means to come back from war and to face the age-old question of whether it is better to have survived or to have died. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal (starred review) on The Poppy Wife

"A dazzling intersection of romance and historical fiction." -- Popsugar on The Poppy Wife

"Scott's bold novel, inspired by her own family history, is instantly appealing for historical fiction fans. But the timeless story of love, loyalty, and honor will have appeal for readers of all interests." -- Publishers Weekly on The Poppy Wife
