Look at me, getting quoted about dressing!
Under The Poppy
Kathe Koja is a writer that I have enjoyed for almost 2 decades.
" Under the Poppy is a brothel owned by Decca and Rupert. Decca is in love
with Rupert but he in turn is in love with her brother, Istvan. When
Istvan comes back to town, louche puppet troupe in tow, the lines of
their age-old desires intersect against a backdrop of approaching war."
