Poppy: The Story of a South African Girl is a novel written by Cynthia Stockley, first published in 1910. The book tells the story of Poppy, a young girl growing up in South Africa during the early 20th century. Poppy is the daughter of a white Englishman and a black South African woman, and as a result, she faces discrimination and prejudice from both the white and black communities. The novel explores themes of race, identity, and belonging, as Poppy struggles to find her place in a society that views her as an outsider. Despite facing numerous challenges, Poppy is determined to succeed and make a better life for herself. Throughout the book, readers are taken on a journey through the South African landscape, as Poppy travels from her small village to the bustling city of Johannesburg. Along the way, she meets a cast of colorful characters, including other mixed-race individuals who share her struggles, as well as wealthy white landowners who hold the power in the country. Overall, Poppy: The Story of a South African Girl is a powerful and poignant novel that sheds light on the complex issues of race and identity in South Africa. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of this fascinating country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
