Description

Lily: A Tale of Revenge by Rose Tremain is a gripping novel of murder and revenge set in Victorian England. On a freezing winter's night, a baby is abandoned at the gates of a park, only to be saved by a young policeman and taken to the Foundling Hospital. After years of brutal hardship, Lily is released into the world of Victorian London, but she is hiding a dreadful secret. As Lily navigates the harsh realities of her new life, she becomes convinced that the policeman who saved her holds the key to her happiness. But might he also be the one to uncover her crime and condemn her to death? Rose Tremain's visceral and deeply humane novel explores themes of rejection, poverty, guilt and redemption, evoking Victorian London with intense and unflinching prose. A gripping and thought-provoking tale of survival and the human condition, Lily is a compelling read for anyone interested in historical fiction and the complexities of the human heart.
