After two years of discussion and careful, probing questioning, the full story of Poppie's difficult and disturbing story emerged and the novel was born. Elsa Joubert has been scrupulous in presenting the authentic details that give the work its substance and which resulted in such a remarkable and insightful story. Her novel is an sentimentalised celebration of the human capacity for survival and the tenacious spirit that is Poppie.
