It is the summer of 1929, and the Hinton Dysart estate is dying from lack of money and Kit Dysart, the heir, sees no way out. Then, at his sister’s wedding he meets the vibrant Daisy Chudleigh and her cousin, the heiress Matty Verrall. In love with Daisy, troubled by his family’s decline, Kit chooses to marry Matty. But neither Kit nor Daisy is able to forget the other.

Drawn together by the yearnings of the heart, the three find themselves tangled in secrets buried in the family’s history. But when Matty, growing increasingly unhappy in her troubled, empty marriage, decides to recreate the garden, she discovers solace and a gift of which she never dreamed.

A glorious fusion of love and gardening, Consider the Lily is a classic and poignant novel of love, loss and, ultimately, a new flowering between the two world wars.
