Little Deeping Westshire in the mid 1950s and internationally renown concert pianist Viktor Schapansky unexpectedly inherits the beautiful Stardene Manor But should Lily wild and bizarre as she is have inherited After all she was Sir Thomas Neville s ward. Lilybet But in my dream I heard her singing I knew she was near I lay contented on the grass wriggling my toes waiting for her return And in my dream I gained the landing and made a pillow my throne sitting as the child in the nursery rhyme adamant I would not be frightened from my perch I traced an embroidered initial with my forefinger A twisted letter curled at the corner in a hangman s noose Lily is possessed of exceedingly lovely prose But Lily is far than an exercise in good writing It is a captivating story with many layers complex characters and a setting Little Deeping Westshire that lives and breathes The past stalks the present while generations of ancestor portraits people the very walls of Stardene watching and waiting Waiting for the manor inhabited for decades by the Nevilles and recently by the Schapanskys to resolve its dark minor chords.
