There were once three beautiful sisters, the toasts of wartime London. One stayed single, one married for money, and one married for love...Thirty-five years on, age and enmity have driven Primrose, Juaua and Isobel apart, but the past is waiting to reclaim them and when their illusions about themselves and each other die, nothing can protect them from guilt-laden memory of their lost step-sister, Lily-Josephine. Like Snowdrop in the fairy tale, Lily-Josephine was a disinherited Princess, hiding in the greenwood shade from the jealous stepmother who wanted to destroy her. Now, she is long gone. If only she could be forgotten...

Review:

"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)
