Oh, Gwyn, a young girl born a century too late! But luckily there were people during WWI who appreciated her spunk, her "drive" (that's funny, but you have to read the book to appreciate it), her wisdom to defy traditions. And Cecilia, who I absolutely adored as I am a sucker for characters who change over the course of a book. She went from "I just want to look pretty" to "I can help in my own way" for the war. Handsome soldiers who are stuck in the rut of family tradition, to comedic relief of Roland. Among the Poppies is sure to touch everyone's lives with the characters and the theme of duty verses desire. Gwyn wants to help on the front of the War, but her love interest, Captain Crawford isn't having it. They both are stubborn, trying to do the right thing. Who will win, and who will not- that is for the reader to find out.
