I loved <i>Lily-Josephine</i>. 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... <i>Lily-Josephine</i> 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
<i>Lily-Josephine</i> is a vibrant, unpretentious reworking of timeless themes
Helen Dunmore
Classy, vivid and clever. This epic of relative secrets has echoes of <i>Snow White</i>, and is no less scarlet and juicy than the proverbial apple
She
Disgracefully enjoyable... beguiling, deftly-written, high class hocus-pocus
Daily Mail
It's <i>Snow White </i>with sex, and lots of it... the whole thing is just the ticket for when you're romance-free
Red Magazine
An absorbing, rollicking story, throbbing with sex and effortlessly controlled by the increasingly assured Kate Saunders
Good Housekeeping
Lily-Josephine had a talent for love. Wilful, enchanting and passionate, she was the centre of a charmed universe - until her foolish, indulgent father married again.
Like Snow-Drop in Grimms' fairy tale, Lily ran from her jealous stepmother one idyllic summer evening in 1941. She escaped to find sanctuary but, at Randalls, discovered a love far greater than any she had ever known...
A generation later, the events set in train that night begin to unravel when Sophie Gently falls in love with Octavius Randall and the bizarre and tragic history linking their families is uncovered. Not until ancient passions and betrayals have been confronted can Lily-Josephine - long gone, but never forgotten - truly be laid to rest.
