Product Description
Synopsis
A heartbreaking and mesmerizing story of a young woman's search for love When Lillie Bird was thirteen years old she walked into her parents' home closing the door behind her, shutting out the condemning cries of the small town of Sunshine. With only an outing to Christmas mass once a year, this house was to be her world for the next eight years. On the day she turns twenty one this too-dazzling woman brims with imminent escape and longs to find the world that she has only read about: of men, of love, of brightness. But the town of Sunshine cannot hold Lillie and soon she is drawn to her mother's land, the cold dark English skies, and finally to the scuffed and tumbling London streets. There she finds the pleasure and the sadness in the world she so desperately seeks. This is Nikki Gemmell's finest work to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovesong - casting it's spell, 3 Aug 2003
By Elizabeth (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lovesong (Paperback)
Wonderful to read.

Lillie, the main character in the book, is a troubled youth trying to find life from one continent to another.

It's romantic, yet displaced characters can be often identified with....A mother, uprooting herself from the country of her birth, to fall in love with a man from America and stay there, her daughter, Lillie, being sent to stay with her Grandfather, back in England, a man set in his ways, but with a rebel understanding in his heart....an aunt, so utterly British, A man, who uses women, another desperately in love...all entwined with the main character, who's lost in herself....and wants to discover life.

A novel haunting, intense and beautifully written, different and set apart the author conveys this in her style of writing, that's so addictive.
