A heartwarming and remarkable work of human goodness.
The little baby with darker skin went home with Mary to a warm home and a secure future.
Her twin sister, with white skin, was left on the doorstep of 11, Bluebell Drive. Home to a cross-dressing vicar and his conservative wife, Maureen.
From that moment onwards, Lilly chooses to follow her heart, with often hilarious and always unexpected consequences that teach us all a lesson about life, and how it should be led.
After reading this wonderful first time novel on Kindle something strange happened – I immediately wanted to do something selfless, to make a difference to someone’s day whether it be a friend, family member or even a complete stranger. I wanted to do something 'nice' without wanting anything back for the first time in years. And that is indeed the magical world of Lilly Lemoncello!
The world needs a book (and maybe a film) like this at the moment, a reminder that our actions have an effect and in fact that effect can be both positive, magical and meaningful. The book is simply, eloquently and beautifully written. Great work for a first time novel.
Lilly's world has it all – cleverly showing us how everything is connected in life. Wonderfully written. Extremely funny. Beautiful poignant. A superb first novel by the author. Without a doubt this will become a feature film in years to come. Indeed it is a magical world!
