Items related to The Ghost Of Lily Painter
It's the summer of 2007, and when Annie Sweet sees 43 Stanley Road, the Victorian house is so perfect she longs to move in. But with her husband increasingly distant, and her daughter absorbed with friends and a new school, Annie is left alone to mull over the past. Soon she becomes consumed by the house and everyone who has ever lived there, especially young Lily Painter, a rising star of the music hall. Then Annie uncovers a dark episode from Edwardian London, in which two notorious baby farmers lured young unmarried mothers with the promise of a better life for their babies. Until Annie solves the mystery at the heart of the scandal, the ghost of Lily Painter will never be able to rest.
