About this deal

We have published a new cookies policy, which you should read to find out more about the cookies we use. I found the absence of chapter breaks and the sudden unannounced changes in timeline (at least in my ARC) rather distracting and left me confused at times.

When Lily is old enough, she leaves the hospital, finds a job and in time reconnects with the man who saved her. That treatment is in stark contrast to the affection Lily experiences from her foster family, Nellie and Perkin Buck and their three sons, on their farm in Suffolk. Then it ends with her thinking if the police come after her (Sam Trench the person she loves being the head detective if they arrive) then she would drop herself in a dark well.

Lily was born out of a kind of crossover,” explains Tremain, over the phone from her home in Norfolk. Tremain has taken pains to construct a tough, metropolitan character in Lily, with all sorts of possibilities open to her. The story was pretty grim and we could delve into the great mystery as to why humans actually enjoy tragedy at all. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

Lily is a headstrong character, building up an admirable resilience to what is thrown at her, in contrast to some of her less strong-willed peers.no one can break your heart quite like this' Neel MukherjeeReaders love LILY'A stunning story of love, betrayal and true grit' Susan H. Surrounded by the beautiful landscape of rural Suffolk, and with a family and animals that she loved, Lily was really happy. The Hospital would pay foster parents to raise orphans through their earliest childhood, and Lily is lucky enough to be placed with Nellie Buck, a kind and motherly woman who has only sons, and falls in love with bright, pretty little Lily, as Lily does with her. Lily is not a joyful, bawdy, Dickensian romp, replete with cheeky cockney clichés and rosy-cheeked orphans. So it’s a good entertaining historical read, but not a subtle or nuanced one, with a predictable ending, and not quite up to Tremain’s usual standard.
