Lilies

Meet the Moss girls—“my lilies,” as their father calls them—Iris, May and Ruby, three young Catholic sisters finding their way through life in a working-class neighborhood in1920s Liverpool. Sexy, funny and heartbreaking, Lilies reveals the lives of dutiful, devout Iris (Catherine Tyldesley, Holby City) who runs the household in place of their deceased mother. Wayward, dreamy May (Leanne Rowe, Oliver Twist) works as a parlor maid but longs for a better life. And feisty, ambitious Ruby (Kerrie Hayes, Sparkle) sells—and sometimes models—corsets to keep the family afl oat. With their overbearing father and war-tormented brother, they struggle through poverty, passions and profound disappointments— sustained always by the irrepressible spirit of family. Lilies depicts the sometimes brutal realities of life in post-World War I Britain, as well as the fortifying power of love.
