Consider the Lily Read by Lindsay Duncan

"Consider the lily... waxen, exotic, doomed to bloom for its short, sweet season. Consider the rose... tenderly beautiful yet resilient, twining its way into the English garden...

Winner of the 1994 Romantic Novelists' Association Novel of the Year Award, Consider the Lily is a glorious fusion of love and gardening, of family life and coming to terms with loss. A haunting, passionate story played out between three people, it is also a poignant and beautiful novel of England between the wars that propels the reader into its own rich and nostalgic world."
