I only recognized two of the nine authors in Fall of Poppies - Stories of Love and the Great War (#912), but Lauren Willig's name alone was enough to convince me to give this anthology a try.
I must admit, I was really disappointed in most of the stories here. The only thing these novellas seem to have in common was Armistice Day, a much narrower focus. The end result for me was an entirely forgettable collection of tales vaguely related to World War I. I just should have re-read Helen Simonson's The Summer Before the War. (See my post of 4/13/16.)
