À propos de ce contenu audio
Lily Steps Up is a warm, engaging story of friendship set in the changing world of early 20th-century Ireland, the second in Curtin's best-selling historical series.
Lissadell House, Sligo, 1913.
Lily and her friend Nellie are young housemaids in service in the Big House - they work for Lady Mary and Sir Josslyn Gore-Booth at Lissadell. As well as her housework and duties, Lily helps out in the local school of needlework - she hopes it might be a step on the way to her dream of being a teacher.
Though they work hard, there’s lots of fun to be had at Lissadell - like friendship, fun and madcap bicycle rides with Sir Josslyn’s niece Maeve, daughter of the famous Republican Constance Markievicz.
Before Nellie came to Lissadell, she had a hard life in the workhouse, where she was separated from her family. So when Lily and Maeve manage to track down Nellie’s long-lost sister, Johanna, and fix it so she comes to Lissadell as Lady Mary’s maid, Nellie is overjoyed. But when a valuable locket goes missing, Johanna is the chief suspect. Should Lily take the blame so that the sisters can stay together?
