Poppy: The Story of a South African Girl is a historical novel written by Cynthia Stockley and first published in 1910. The book is set in South Africa during the early 20th century, and follows the story of Poppy, a young girl who is born into poverty and struggles to survive in a society that is deeply divided by race and class.As the story unfolds, readers are taken on a journey through the various challenges and obstacles that Poppy faces as she grows up in a world that is often hostile and unforgiving. From her early years as a child laborer on a farm to her eventual rise to success as a businesswoman and community leader, Poppy's story is one of resilience, determination, and courage in the face of adversity.Throughout the book, Stockley explores themes of racial inequality, social injustice, and the struggle for freedom and equality in a society that is deeply divided by race and class. Through Poppy's experiences, readers are given a glimpse into the complex and often turbulent history of South Africa, and the many challenges that the country has faced over the years.Overall, Poppy: The Story of a South African Girl is a powerful and moving novel that offers a unique perspective on the history of South Africa and the struggles of its people. Through Stockley's vivid and evocative prose, readers are transported to a different time and place, and given a glimpse into the lives of those who have fought for freedom and justice in a world that is often harsh and unforgiving.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
