THE GREAT HUSBAND HUNT by LAURIE GRAHAM
|
SummaryFrom the author of the acclaimed The Future Homemakers of
America comes a funny and moving novel about a high-
spirited, unconventional woman whose life is a celebration
of passion's triumph over prudence.What hope is there for
Poppy Minkel? She has kinky hair and big ears--and an
unquenchable lust for fun. Her mother Dora despairs of ever
finding her a husband, despite the lure of the Minkel
family mustard fortune. Social mores, duty, and ear-
correcting bandages are the weapons of Dora's husband hunt,
but they only serve to torture a girl who has her own ideas
about beauty, love, and marriage. Then, her father dies on
the Titanic. And as WWI opens up new horizons, Poppy's
tendency toward the unconventional finds room to blossom.
Without a moment of self-doubt, Poppy reinvents herself in
step with the unfolding modern century.
