From the author of Lily at Lissadell and the 'Alice & Megan', 'Eva' and
'Time After Time' series
Lissadell House, Sligo, 1913
Friends Lily and Nellie work long hard hours as housemaids for the Gore
Booth family in the Big House. And yet these are days filled with
friendship, fun, and even madcap bicycle rides with Maeve, daughter of
the famous Republican, Countess Marcievicz.
But Lily knows there's an empty place in her friend's heart. Nellie is
all alone in the world; she grew up in the workhouse, where she was
separated from her sisters. Lily longs to help her, but could she end up
losing all she has - even her livelihood. And what will happen to her
hopes and dreams? Just how much would you give up for a friend ...?
A story of friendship set in the changing world of early 20th century
Ireland.
