Tough, sexy, funny and heartbreaking, Lillies details the lives of Iris, May and
Ruby Moss - Catholic sisters coming of age in a dockland terraced house. Familial
love sustains them, and their fortunes are bound to those of their brother and
their father. Set in the years immediately following the First World War, Lilies
pulls no punches in its storytelling. It depicts a sensual, vivid and sometimes
savage universe - where life is lived on a knife-edge of poverty, fuelled by
various kinds of love. Dadda, the family's charismatic and mercurial father
married very young, is now widowed, and his struggle to nurture his unruly children
proves both moving and comic.
