Lily-Josephine

Lily-Josephine had a talent for love. Wilful, enchanting and passionate, she was the centre of a charmed universe - until her foolish, indulgent father married again.

Like Snow-Drop in Grimms' fairy tale, Lily ran from her jealous stepmother one idyllic summer evening in 1941. She escaped to find sanctuary but, at Randalls, discovered a love far greater than any she had ever known...

A generation later, the events set in train that night begin to unravel when Sophie Gently falls in love with Octavius Randall and the bizarre and tragic history linking their families is uncovered. Not until ancient passions and betrayals have been confronted can Lily-Josephine - long gone, but never forgotten - truly be laid to rest.

Reviews

I loved Lily-Josephine. Kate Saunders is such a wonderful writer

—— Jilly Cooper

An unashamedly sentimental saga that will keep you roaring with laughter and weeping buckets in equal measure... Lily-Josephine is an armchair-and-cocoa novel of the highest order

—— Daily Telegraph

It's a farytale and thriller, romance and tragedy, everything that a gripping read should be... one of those books you won't be able to put down, or forget

—— Woman's Realm

This novel is driven by passion, lust and unrequited love - and it contains all the classic elements that make a good fairytale

—— Express

Lily-Josephine is a vibrant, unpretentious reworking of timeless themes

—— Helen Dunmore

Classy, vivid and clever. This epic of relative secrets has echoes of Snow White, and is no less scarlet and juicy than the proverbial apple

—— She

Disgracefully enjoyable... beguiling, deftly-written, high class hocus-pocus

—— Daily Mail

It's Snow White with sex, and lots of it... the whole thing is just the ticket for when you're romance-free

—— Red Magazine

An absorbing, rollicking story, throbbing with sex and effortlessly controlled by the increasingly assured Kate Saunders

—— Good Housekeeping
